Re: [Leica] Radioactivity and dopey M's

It's possible that I was being facetious.

I love shooting with Leicha M's; they suit my photography and my way of
working almost perfectly.  And even though it's heretical, or ignorant, to
say so, I like the cameras as much, if not more, than the lenses.

Don't need a G2 either.  I have both a Yashica T4 Super and a Rollei Prego
Zoom for family snaps.  They work great.  I'm all set in the point-and-shoot
department.
