[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm 52 First bought a Leica in 1968, a IIIf with 50mm Summitar, after being inspired by H.C-B and Elliott Erwitt. Had to sell it while in college, but in 1973 bought a pristine used M3 + 50 coll. Summicron the month I got my (current) job as a university photographer. Still using that camera, but most of my lenses are LTM Nikkors with adapters. Also have a different IIIf with LTM 50 Summmicron. At the office have been able to use N**** F's, F2's, C**** EOS, and M4-2's, as well as a KE-7 we got from gov. surplus, and I own O****** OM's, but the only cameras I really LOVE are Leica rangefinders. (Before anyone gets too excited, we traded the KE-7 for the M4-2 bodies, winder and lenses years ago) Although it's easier for my aging eyes to focus an M4 or M2, I can't help returning to my M3 as my favorite.
