In reality I have no idea why? As I'm more home bound these days than outside even looking at the rubble of my once beautiful garden! :-( Oh nothing just a wee bit of aging. However, I'll slip down to my camera store and see the folks and have them pull one of these machines out and have an in hand feel compared to my M8? Basically my last real Leica working camera. And I sure as hell can't arrive at the "OTHER SIDE" having the "GREAT SPIRIT" :-) telling me "We've been waiting for you for awhile, as we've got a "shoot for you! And you'll probably need a couple of cameras!" :-) So just one M8 wont cut it! :-) cheers, Dr. ted :-) -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jim Nichols Sent: November-10-16 8:06 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: Nostalgia Thanks, Steve.

I bought my first Leica in 1952, before the M existed, and I've never owned an M or R. I started with a used Leica III, from 1935, which had been converted by the factory to a IIIa. That was my standard for a small camera.

Consequently, I have enjoyed the Fuji offerings and will probably remain in that camp. While I have mentally compared the Fuji X-E1 and the Leica IIIf, I had not put them side by side until today.
