My sympathies to you. regards Vick -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+vick.ko=sympatico.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+vick.ko=sympatico.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Stan Yoder Sent: Monday, June 25, 2007 9:21 PM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] Oops! Dropped my M8 :-( Had the Viso III on tripod doing close-up nature stuff on an Elderhostel in northern Mich. Went to disconnect the M8 therefrom, and for once didn't have my arm through the strap. Down she went to the hard, hard gravel road. Clumsy me. When I picked it up, the shutter leaves were en dishabile, one bent and bulging out. Argh. Finished the hostel with my backup digilux-2, which is really not bad at all. So, off to Allendale tomorrow. Hope it doesn't have to go on to Solms. Back to the M2. Actually, RFs aren't the best for this genre. All the other spavined septuagenarians there had DSLRs, except for three film people, also SLRs. They were shooting the pants off me, with their 20-300 macro zooms and whatnot. But what I got, I got well. For the most part.
