I am new to this list and would just like to announce my presence here. ;-) I live in Germany and am not using a Leica yet. At this time I use older (70's) Minolta SLR, my favorite being the XE-1 (similar to the R3 and with a Leitz metal shutter). From what I've seen and read I've fallen in love with the Leica M cameras esp. the M3 and M4 and so I decided that I just have to have one, maybe with a 50mm Summicron for a start. At the moment I try to gather as much information about Leica M equipment and would be happy to receive any inputs from your side as to how to start, what to look for (how much to pay for...) and just plain good advise. In photography I am mostly shooting portrait (I am lucky to have - at the moment - three female models available) and available light and nocturnal scenes. Many thanks in advance, I am looking forward to participate on this list, Matthias
