	[BOB KRAMER]  Can't imagine you're alone in your findings, but
having never owned new Leica gear I don't know from personal experience.  I
certainly have no complaints about my M3 or M4.  It's like the estimable Ms.
Krauter says, let the lawyers and doctors pay for (and de-bug) the new
stuff.  The rest of us will gladly use their cast-offs.  :-)
