[LRflex] First Leica D gathering?

Argh !!!!!

Phil, I'm off the capital during the WE you mention.

Otherwise, it would be the first gathering ever for this type of hardware.

To be forgiven, I'll try to organize a trip to your region this summer.

As for the header, etc, I feel like calling Leica and ask.

Cheers.
