[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I am 52, rediscovering photography after a 15 year hiatus spent writing among other things. However, I bought my one and only Leica (M3) used, with some lenses, when I was in my 20s, and living on an assistant professor's salary. Used prices had not yet become astronomical and I was able to realize a childhood and teenage dream in buying the Leica. Since, I have used it for ethnographic work, and all my published photos are with the Leica. So while one might have to be well-heeled and older now to afford a Leica system, it hasn't always been the case. Some of us have just grown older and more curmugeonly while owning and using our Leicas.
