The problem with beautiful jewellery like the Leica M is the initial cost - but I've found that by not putting any film in it (and why spend money on batteries? - I use the compartment to store a small supply of fine snuff), that I've nearly recouped the cost in just over a year! I'm thinking of purchasing a second camera and mounting them on the epaulettes of my favourite dinner jacket. Brian McCarthy straightline design brian@straightline.co.uk www.straightline.co.uk
