Has anyone besides me attempted to diagram the sentences in this post? I even feed the post into sentence diagramming software and the software just barfed it back out and screamed "No More!"
The kit I've been after was with the remainder of my stimulus budget, carefully considered, to best fill gaps of needed items.
A Leica Barnack in working order would have meant would have only been able to buy a couple of items, and no film, nor the main tools to repair the $125 'blad 50mm f4 C lens and the 150mm C T*, for the same, for parts and practice, the Nikon F, nor the Spotmatic for using the Pentax M42 lenses, etc i already have, on a Pentax M42 body.
I would no have been able to buy the 120 Tri-x, all three types, outdated but frozen that sits in my fridge, the Hasselblad lens hood clip for a small LED light, to be bought or traded for sometime next year, nor chemistry for my dark room.
Also, the Greylab digital timer, put up as a item for Photrio.com donation and shipping, a I needed to replace the analog dial timers I have been using in the darkroom, a large assortment of Vivatar Feet, metal and plastic for keeping my 8 - 10 283 and 285 lighting units working, and certainly, none of the other parts and items that came with the box, including slaves, and a correct size Gitzo tripod carrier to fit my main tripod, and that both are labeled "Gitzo", is just haw the coin fell.
There is more, all useful items, including colour and B&W films, in 120 and 35mm, which now populate my kit, filling those gaps, as I mentioned earlier, which give real service to me, and which, with the last approximately $200 left of my stimulus check, which is already partly spoken for, including, a basket case Hasselblad 500 C body for practice, parts and experience, to see me through the new year.
That I kept most of my buys here on Photrio.com also suits me just fine, and I do no have anything to feel 'guilty' about the choice I made, to continue the ask for a Leica, even one needing repairs like a CLA, vs. Decisions I took to kept to a budget that gives me much more bang for the buck.
As to Feds, etc, I have a Fed 3b, having shot Fed 2s, 3a, 4 and Fed 5s, metered and without, and still found my IIIC a better fit into my photography.
I'm no fan boy of either the Hasselblad nor the Leica's, but I do know, enjoyed and have owned and used these cameras, in the past, including the M3 SS, and I know what I like.
Your mileage may vary.
I have no pretended to no have other cameras, I do no take kit I won't use or know someone who can use it, and I'm no collector, so, as much as you may think I'm wrong or bad I am for bumping this thread, you, yourself do no have to protect the community from my ask, we're all adults here, and you do no have to follow this thread, if it is upsetting to you, it's simply no good for your Peace of Mind, (We've all experienced similar 'Distractions and Irks') so do what is best for your well being, and stay in or out of these posts, as you will.
I am still looking for a Leica, for my personal use, and likely will continue to do so for the near future.
Be Safe, Be Well and, Godspeed to All.

Wherever you see the word "no," replace it with "not." I think?
LOL. Slower...and louder for those who’s hearing is starting to fail.Were you no able to understand the words?
If no, I can type slower, I think... .
"No More" is what was meant and typed.
Maybe he also means $100 when he types $10. Although that won't get him many offers either.I meant in Eli's posts. When you see the word "no" in his posts, he's usually trying to say "not." I think your software would work much better if you replace "no" with "not." Replace "no" with "not" almost every time you see it in this sentence:
"I have no pretended to no have other cameras, I do no take kit I won't use or know someone who can use it, and I'm no collector, so, as much as you may think I'm wrong or bad I am for bumping this thread, you, yourself do no have to protect the community from my ask, we're all adults here, and you do no have to follow this thread, if it is upsetting to you, it's simply no good for your Peace of Mind, (We've all experienced similar 'Distractions and Irks') so do what is best for your well being, and stay in or out of these posts, as you will."
No he meant $10 (implied free). He thought someone who has a Leica but not using it so wasting it and that person should let him have the camera. However, I know many people who have nice Leica and not using them but they either enjoy them on the shelf or sell them for good money. Leica owners know how much their cameras worth.Maybe he also means $100 when he types $10. Although that won't get him many offers either.
You miss the point.
I am no criticizing not making a judgment call on what other people do with their camera's, I am asking those with cameras that are sitting unused, perhaps in need of repairs, that ACTUALLY WANT their own idle/forgotten camera to be used for analog photography to consider me as someone who will actually use and care for a abandoned Leica, as a possible recipient at a token price.
I always believed and continue to believe a person's money, property, real estate and Property is completely theirs to do as the wish, provided it's no purposely, destroying or fouling the lands, water and air of others nearby.
With a world so filled with outlandish Judgments on others, their actions, beliefs, desires, I'm happy to say, none of it is my business, except for the always fun of National Political Gamesmanship.
Cheers and, Be Well.
In my experience, that train left the station 10+ years ago, when the big D revolution overwhelmed the photo world. That is when mechanical film cameras were selling for almost giveaway prices. Sure, maybe you can still occasionally find a bargain at an estate sale, but how much of your life do you need to spend to save a few $$s? A serious photographer will acquire the tool he needs for the work he wants to do, buy film, and move on.He's better off visiting garage and estate sales, swap meets and pawn shops.

The train left to port and overturned when it got out of the harbor. Also the ship chugged out of the train station and sailed down the tracks to the whirlpool and sank.
And I know someone who was on Enewetok.
