[Leica] M9's.. Used.....

I think you just wanted a chance to use 'plethora' in a thread Phil ;-)
Notwithstanding some ergonomically advanced design features, your plethora
is not merely moribund it is entirely deceased!
Actually I owned and used a G1 and G2. Leica viewfinders they were not!
You still can't autofocus Leica M lenses, no way no how, not even with
ketchup in the helicoids.



Cheers
