–Played with cameras some. Once again the Leica D-Lux 4 Safari outdid everything I put it up against. It’s a mind-boggling camera.
–Pulled out some Shigefusas to check before selling, and noticed some fairly nasty rust spots on a couple that were NOT in boxes–kitaeji yanagiba and kurouchi petty. With great trepidation I took them out to the belt grinder and–a miracle–made them both close to perfect; they’re sharp too. Whew!
