- More importantly, will Del's offer your money back on any Leica that

- An *ex*-girlfriend of mine once sat on my Nikon F3 - she needed a place
- to relax at the airport & my duffle must have looked inviting to her. No
- damage functionally, but the top cover on the F3HP viewfinder is just thin
- sheet metal, and it conformed more closely to the prism. She's about
- "average" weight, and both the camera's bottom and hers were aimed at
- the ground.

- more respectful of my photo toys). :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
