[Leica] LUG - Way over my budget...

[afirkin at afirkin.com (Alastair Firkin)]

There are plenty of people here who still use film. That side of the list is 
quite partly because of Photokina, which was always going to create its own 
stir. Its true that digital has taken over a lot of the discussion, but you 
would find plenty of us happy to answer film questions etc. Stick it out a 
bit longer, perhaps try the digest version, though I find it slower than 
getting each mail separately. 

Cheers

Hi Folks, 
I am getting rather overwhelmed by the volume of this list and feel a little 
bit out of place here.  I will definitely not be able to afford an M8 (or 
DMR, or S2 for that matter) for the forseeable future and have a much more 
analog low-budget approach to shooting and owing Leica gear than (it seems) 
most here. 
Will can fully satisfy the digital needs (mosty for my work as a zoologist) 
with a lowly Canon Rebel Xsi, D50 or G10, but love the feel and timeless 
image quality of a IIIf, M3, M6 or SL2  and the smell of my B&W darkroom 
(with B22XL enlarger). 
 Is there a Leica list for analog only, classic Leica users, where the 
newest gear is not necessarily the best?
Thanks, Jan
