While touring the Leica factory I thought of our friend Huss and his amazing film scratching M6 camera. So I asked to meet the technicians who are responsible for adding that feature. They introduced me to these two ladies who do that customization. They were very nice and so happy to hear that their work is appreciated by Leica customers everywhere. They said most cameras don't get this special feature added because there are only two of them. So, Huss should feel lucky for getting one.
What do you do when your flight is delayed 8 hours? You go out looking for images in the airport. This one from the top of the escalator in the ATL International Terminal.
A young woman sitting by the door on the long train ride from Wetzlar to Berlin today. I got aggressively told by someone on the train that it was against the law in Germany to take photos with people in them unless they give you permission. I had to delete all my images from today. This person said it was OK so I got to keep this one image.

I am always thinking of my FM friends....
Thanks for asking about that. In 2013 I sent a M6 TTL to the factory for the finder upgrade and was impressed by both their attention to detail in making corrections not associated with the original repair request but also with the communication from half a world away. Glad it was a good trip.
