After years of drooling, I purchased a used M3 SS with 35 & 50 Summicrons 
and a 135 Hektor and a bunch of Visoflex stuff from the 90 year old father 
of a friend in 1992. Everything was in serious need of attention. Thanks to 
the LUG, I found Reinhold Mueller and sent everything off to him. The 35 
wasn?t worth saving, so he kept it for parts and returned the body and 2 
lenses looking beautiful. A few of years later, I added an M6 and over time 
various lenses. I then then committed the sin of trading the M3 in on a .85 
M6. In 2002, I lost my mind completely and sold all my film gear for pennies 
on the dollar and went digital. When I hit 70, sanity started to return and 
I bought a used M246 but quickly sold it again. For some reason it just 
didn?t work for me. A couple of years later, I liked the sound of the M10, 
so after talking to Ken Hansen I bought an M10 and a couple of lenses from 
him. Due to a case of GAS, I now have the M10, 5 lenses and recently 
acquired M6 and M4-P. I?m not selling any of these!!!
