We need some more Leica M users in the LUG ;-) Now take out that CN film and put in some black and white or transparencies! We're looking forward to seeing your pictures in our global community. Cheers Hoppy (Australia LUG division) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Alex Sent: Wednesday, 10 January 2007 07:01 To: Leica Users Group Subject: [Leica] Now I'm officially Leica user ! Well, just received my so much anticipated M6 after nearly month of shipments and camera traveling from US to me (I'm in Israel). What a fine piece of craftmanship ! I'm so impressed..wow :-) I feel kind of fetishist grasping the camera in my hands with my Summicron 50mm/2 (latest version) attached, extremely solid feeling of simplicity yet robustness... I'm thankful to our fellow member Hank Kellner whose camera I happened to acquire on Ebay, it was a total pleasure to deal with this gentlemen, very rewarding experience corresponding with him. The camera arrived at least in the condition as described by him, if not even better...complete with entire set (strap, all papers, original box, batteries) exactly as described in his auction. Justy went through the manual making sure I understand the possible new user pitfalls, have yet loaded the film, but having ready the roll of Kodak 400CN to go through tomorrow...:-) It seems to be teh perfect tool to garsp my zone metering estimation skills. Hopefully will happily swamp my yet to born LUG gallery (and my personal site galleries) with my first Leica-made images.... Best and Happy New Year to all LUGers and families..
