[Leica] Hello. new member and some photos

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (Geoff Hopkinson)]

Hi Adam, you have probably now worked out that you cannot attach photos to
your post.
Brian, our saloon keeper offers free galleries for LUG folks to share their
work here
http://gallery.leica-users.org/main.php
You can set up an album then place links to your photos in your posts to the
group.
Many LUG folks post photographs not taken with Leica gear. A Contax RF is
nearly an honorary Leica anyway ;-)  


Cheers
Geoff

Pick up your camera and make the best photo you can.

Subject: [Leica] Hello. new member and some photos

Hello.

I'm a new member and I must admit I'm joining to learn more - not to share
as I don't HAVE a Leica yet.
I'm hoping to buy either an M3 or, in the case that a huge bag of gold would
fall in front of me, an MP.

I am using a Contax IIIa with a Sonnar 50/1.5 lens as my primary camera and
like it a lot but I must admit that I much prefer the pure handling of the
Leica M-class cameras.

In anyway, attached are two photos taken with the Contax. I take photos
almost exclusively hand-held, as opened-up as I can and often in dim light
so the rangefinder have served me well so far at least.


Looking forward to learning a lot here.
Adam
