[Leica] New to Leica

[luisripoll at telefonica.net (Lluis Ripoll)]

Welcome Jan,

I agree the Ric and Dr. Ted words, now I have a M8 but what I'm  
fanatic is of the old gear, I don't have many time to comment all the  
pictures and messages but I intend to follow all.

On the other hand, you have a very interesting job, I love music too,  
if you have a website please let me know, if not I will enjoy very  
much if you post some pictures regarding your job.

I'm living in Barcelona, for this reason my personal greetings are  
usually in Spanish

Saludos cordiales
Lluis
