Somebody's Got To Start

[Mackinaw]

Actually, I have nothing to say. Just wanted to the first person to post on this new forum.

But, to stay on topic, I do own two M-series Leicas.

Hi, Jim.

 

[Mackinaw]

DF,

I see you're from Dearborn. Was born and raised there though I now live a few hundred miles north.

I'm a big fan of Cape Breton too, for what it's worth.

g'day

but why does a seemingly insignificant piece of equipment get it's own forum?

Does this mean all you Leicans will now stay here and not litter up the other threads?

[Hey, Moderators/Sean - where's the Nikon (S & F) forum!!!

Somewhere around Gaylord maybe? I try to hang out around East Jordan/Mancelona several weeks each year. Are you aware of the Great Lakes Regional folder here on APUG?

I'd just like to say that if it walks Leica duck and quacks Leica duck, it prolly is a duck.

Hey Jim

Small world !

You need to run up to Bill Schwab's get together this fall.
Bill's ANOTHER Dear-burner.

Here's a snap of me loafing up in Cape Breton this summer
( which might be amusing ). That night, we had a kitchen party !

- the second is a leica shot, the first a T4 yashica

Jim,

I too am from Dearborn, but currently at the summer place near Cross Village. Be sure to check the Great Lakes Regional Group (there was a url link here which no longer exists). If you are only 1 hour south of the bridge, we are only 15 minutes putting you only 45 minutes away. Perfect for the summer gathering up here.

I'm sorry I missed the 2006 event. I'm in the Gaylord area and a trip up to the Cross Village area would be like a trip to the corner drugstore for me. I've put the 2007 dates on the calendar. Maybe I can suggest some places to visit too (Wilderness State Park has some gorgeous undeveloped Lake Michigan shoreline, great Piper Ploving habitat too).

Real cameras use real film.

Real 35mm cameras are rangefinders (or use mirror boxes)

Then again, I'm biased. Frances and I did a book about them (ISBN 1-86108-330-0 -- or check 'Books' on www.rogerandfrances.com.

Cheers,

Oops. Make that Piping Plover. Fingers got crossed up this morning.
