Peter,

I am wondering if the Dekkam Files series you did on the Leica M that was published in Shutterbug back in 1991-1992 is available anywhere. I clipped and saved a number of them, but I never read all of them. Those that I have, have proven to be a valuable resource. That series helped me appreciate what all was and is out there that can be used with Leica. And that it was OK to use old non-Leica lenses and accessories with my Leica!!!!

Hi Peter,

I imagine the answer to the above is that they aren't available. If so, and you have c/r, I think several of us (at least) would be interested in your experiences with the M-s. I have an M3, and love it, about as much as my 7sz, but I usually mount Canon glass on it.

Let us know, please, if they can be put on the website.

Harry
