Well, almost nah. Started by borrowing my dad's llla (model G) w/ 50/2 Summar when I was 14 and headed for a summer working on a ranch in eastern Idaho on the west slope of the Tetons. Have passed through lllc, lllf, M3, multi M4s and M6s, R3MOT and R6. Only once drifted off the path, buying Nikon F (roof prism, no meter) w/ 200/4 Nikkor in Hong Kong in 1967 ($95 for the body, $85 for the lens). Sold them within four years. Nikon makes excellent gear; the lenses didn't seem to my eye to have the "snap", some quality that my Leica lenses have. Ah well. Seth LaK 9
