Hi everyone,

I forgot to add that I'm going to be using a Canonet rangefinder (I don't
know what to expect from what not) and definitely bid on a Leica A1-C1 P and
S for my first Leica camera. I'm debating whether to save up for a M6 or R8
but everyone has been dissing on the R8 so basically I'm thinking about the
M6 instead...

By the way, when do you think that Leica will come out with their best
weapon of choice: the Leica M16? :) hahahaha that's a dumb joke...
