last remark from a cousin of my wife at a wedding, when seing me winding my M2:

I've found vintage cameras to be a great ice-breaker, particularly on vacation in an unfamiliar country. I'd like to think that I've even gotten better treatment in stores/restaurants/etc while on vacation and my Leica around my neck. Seems to work really well in Europe!
We're going to Vienna this winter, and I plan on bringing my Leica I C Standard, and my Zeiss Contaflex TLR, so that oughtta freak 'em out!
