(I hope this is a safe assumption considering you are studying in Wellington) .. anyway my student days are about 4 years behind me, but I still had to save to buy a M6 and 50/2.. which I get before I head back to New Zealand in 2 weeks.. Am I pleased that I stalked the streets with my old £50 Canon GIII and Rollei patiently saving for a Leica??? (I'm not bashing the GIII Kyle if you read this!!) I find out next week.. but I'm sure the answer is going to be.... HELL YES!! and i do consider myself very lucky!! Luggers.. I will look forward to to adding some of my first Leica pics of some special NZ places and people to a website for your viewing pleasure..
