I have been "lurking" here for several months and thought it was about time I started to make some type of contribution. I have enjoyed the PAWs and the PESOs very much and I am impressed by the constructive comments and criticisms posted here. I inherited a Leica M3 along with two lenses and a MR meter from a family friend who passed away 11 years ago. Not realizing what I had in my possession, I am sorry to say I stored it away in my closet for several years. I had always used dummy-proof point-and-shoot cameras and I did not know what all those numbers meant on the lens, I did not know how to load the film, what the meter was for or much else about using a real camera. I still don't know that much, but I finally learned how to use the camera when my wife signed me up for a photography class as a Christmas present 5 years ago. For me, there is an awful lot to think about when using this camera but I love using it and learning how to use it. I have posted a few pictures to the gallery located at: http://gallery.leica-users.org/evanowski Comments are welcome and appreciated. Ed
