DR. BLACKTAPE WANTS TO BE SURE HE UNDERSTANDS THIS CORRECTLY...

Almost 27 years ago Leica knew that the cloth shutters were a source of body
fungus? In fact, if the book was published 27 years ago, Leica had probably
known about the problem for a long time before that.

Do we therefore assume that the shutters are still a source of fungus, or do
we assume that it was possible for them, in a period of only 27 years, to
eliminate the problem?

Inquiring Minds Want To Know.
