[Leica] Took Some Medium Format Advice

[ricc at mindspring.com (Ric Carter)]

Some while back, I asked for input on medium format choices. Got lots  
of great help and advice and noodling. I thought about all that and  
tried to consider what I wanted to do.

Decision process?
? I will only shoot occasional big film
? I?d rather have a medium along and grab it than pack a special bag
? I?d rather save money for digital M than spend big on medium
? It?s easier to buy up later than sell expensive later

Decision?
6X9 German folder

How to get one?
I don?t know enough to buy blind.
I don?t trust the ebay lottery.
Feedback on Jurgen Kreckel?s refurbs was good.

Asked Jugen?s advice on what to get in my experimental price range.

Decision:
Voigtl?nder Bessa I

Got:
Happy for now.
Nice, clean camera with a case to hang it around my neck.

One roll through it so far.

Here?s one shot from it:

I must admit that I have trouble carrying a 120 and a 35mm at the  
same time and thinking in two directions at once.
