Well, in 2002 I went from, "I'll never bother with 35mm ever again (bought a Nikon D1X) then since the last 4 weeks I discovered RF I have 5 and a couple of other small old cameras. #1 Fujica Compact Deluxe, #2 C3 Brick #3 Zeiss Icon Contessamatic E, #4 Balda Baldini, #5 very early Yashica Electro 35, #6 Voigtlander Vito II, #7 Konica Auto S2. A camera I've had forever one of my Dad's that he gave me when he retired I guess you could call a rangefinder is my Busch Pressman Model D since it's got all the sighting options.

Early this year I was lucky enough to get my hands on a very well preserved DS M3 from the original owner at what I considered a pretty bloody good price. In fact I was suspicious of it to begin with, usually when it looks too good to be true it is. But for once a pleasant surprise. Got it serviced by Y.Ye & it just works. Using it turned my head completely, enough to sell my D700, great camera that was/is, to grab a hold of a beautiful M2 which I came across a month or so ago. Zeiss 50 on one, 35 on the other, bliss. I just love these things, I'm not a leica zealot, and there are obviously drawbacks to using these in some circumstances but I think I've found a camera for life.

My first and only (at least for now ;-) )RF camera.

Leica M4 with Planar 50/2

My defunct T90 contributed the strap

A almost brand new Leica M6 (Classic, not the TTL), boxed and all with all docs and all. And a voigtlander nokton 35mm 1.4 sc to go with it. Also, lots and lots of film and r-09 to process all this.

Picked up a tidy little Konica C35v at the flea market yesterday for $10. (Also got the Ferrania Rondine next to it, but its not a RF obviously)



It needs new seals and a battery but should be a nice compact camera to play with!

I just got a Fuji GW690 Professional and a Kodak Medalist, and I clearly need to switch to de-caf.

If We think a 40 years older Leica goes from 1600 dollars at ebay , its a very good deal. I cant pay more than 100 dollars to a camera due to economics but I did buy a Leica mini zoom for 60 dollars and paid another 60 to shipment two years ago at chrismas. My sister wanted to buy to me a M6 too much but I never cant accept this expense to her. She is an sweetheart What about the lens ?

In celebration of his 60th birthday, my father decided to give his 4 children gifts.
He gave me his Leica M6 with summicron 35mm 2.0 and 50mm 2.0 - all bought new in '99. The camera is in mint condition and still has the sticker on the bottom.
I knew my father was a generous man, but I'm in shock. I absolutely love this camera.
