These images are 800 pixels wide (800 x 591 actually), and there is lots of room on my 1152x864 pixel PC-screen (size 19"). Strange that they come out so large on your screen?!? Well, I have a friend who has a Mac, and I will visit him and check what it looks like on his screen. Yes, I could optimize size too, I just forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder. Now, to keep this a little Leica-orientated: -I have almost decided to buy a M3 (because it is rebuilt to take one of Tom's Rapidwinders)! Some of the leatherette is missing on this body, and I am not sure how to fix it myself. I know I can order self-adhesive replacement leatherette from Fargo, although I will have to cut and adapt it to the camera body all by myself. I am not sure I am able to do this... I have Tomosy's Leica Repair book. It includes at cutting pattern for the Leica Standard (E), but not for the M:s... But I remember from the LUG, that it is possible to use "guttapercha". I think it is used by dentists. My question is: -How do you use this guttapercha thing, and how does it harden? Is it any good for filling up a spot as large as one square inch? Is it expensive? Has anyone done this? I am also grateful if someone could point me to a repair shop that can replace the leatherette for me, preferably a shop with e-mail. Any experiences and advice will be highly appreciated! Hans > >> http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/5799/roma99.htm > > > Wow! 116Kb and HOW big??
