They can try to claim my Leica's - when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers !
I am really enjoying this posting. The serial numbers of my cameras have always been interesting, to me. Once I bought an My out of Shutterbug. Found out later that it was the 1oth M6 classic ever built ! I owned it back in 1996. Traded it for a pair of M2 bodies at a camera show a year later (I used to be really bad about changing out cameras all the time). No one was really interested in it's low serial number bacj then because the M6 was still in production. I'd love to have it back now. BTW - I took photos of that M6 and have them in my files (on film) - I'll go find them and get that number, MAYBE it is already on this list and I can try to buy it back ??!!
