"A very short note to thank you for my hood which arrived safely today. It really is a fab bit of kit and I to say I am delighted would be an understatement. Beautifully engineered, it not only compliments the Leica lens I specifically ordered it for but, cosmetically, it exactly matches it in fit and finish too so, here on in, the two will be permanently mated."

"I follow your posts and often learn something from them, for which I thank you. I'm 82 years old and have been using Leica (and Hasseblad) cameras since I was 20, first on a borrowed Leica IIIf; when I saw how much better my photos looked on the Leica — as opposed to my Rollie 35 camera.
On a trip to Europe with older friends I dropped the Rollie and it smashed into too many pieces to even contemplate repairing it. My friend loaned me his backup camera — that Leica IIIf and — I have used Leica cameras ever since. These days I shoot digitally with an M10 R.
Thank you for your interesting posts, I usually learn something from them. If you are in the San Francisco area, and are so inclined, I would enjoy taking you to lunch or dinner at a fine restaurant."
