Whoa! Stop The Presses! In Reference to: "I once read about one of those old ones, 3C or something, that got dropped from a plane onto a desert in the US. Apparently, it still worked fine and the film was ok, once developed. There's our Leica myth for the morning, eh ?" As a Massive Mythbusters Fan and History Buff from way back, they'd take away my 'Geek' Union Card if I didn't "frantically" call out for details-details-details on that myth! It's got Cameras - which i love! It's got Airplanes - which I love! It calls out to be tracked down in some way or another! Anyone on the list know more on the mythical aerial dropped leica story being referenced? Sincerely - but half tongue in cheekily, Richard in Michigan ________________________________ It's okay to be stupid just don't be gung-ho about it. ~â?¢~ Anyone who says something is foolproof hasn't met a determined fool ~â?¢~ Never Argue with an Idiot.

One nice thing about Leicas is that, no matter what they look like, they're tough. I once read about one of those old ones, 3C or something, that got dropped from a plane onto a desert in the US. Apparently, it still worked fine and the film was ok, once developed. There's our Leica myth for the morning, eh ?
