OK, so I changed the subject line.

Well no rusting...


But I have Xperienced severe dusting in my LTM and M cameras and lenses 
because instead of using them to take pick-chers, I used them to sit on my 
shelf while I BS'd to various email groups about the good ole days.

Guido, who won't even think about using anything that Oskar or Ludwig didn't 
touch personally.
