Thanks. Glad to hear you bought the MD, and looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
I'm mooching around central London today, taking snaps in more traditional London light, more accurately rain at the time of writing. I thought about the MD while chimping, and decided that it would be nice not to have the temptation there. I popped into the Leica pushers earlier to see if I could get a decent replacement for the 35/1.4 hood. It turns out that even in battered condition like mine they are very sought after, so I guess I'll get my blacksmith to beat it back into shape. Typical Leica.
