[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm 42 and have rekindled my interest in photography after the passing of my father who originally started me many years ago. He gave me a IIIc and a IIIf years ago and I foolishly traded them by mail to one of the NY outfits for a Minolta SLR (this too was a 'mugging' of sorts - the old scam of 'your equipment isn't as good as you said so we can't give you very much for it!') There isn't a day that goes by that I don't regret that one. As I've gotten older and more financially secure there are still things that I can't have - like a mercedes, etc. but I am lucky that I gave into my lust for the Leica. Ernie Nitka
