Hi everybody - I've been following Rangefinderforum for quite a while now.
I am Wouter van Oosterhout, live in Brazil, work in development cooperation. I am also a photography enthousiast, both taking pictures as well as messing around with (mostly vintage) equipment. I currently have and use an M6, M2, CL and IIIf, as well as a folder Bessa II, olympus 35sp and OM1. I use a summicron 35 1st version, summilux 50 and a summitar, looking for a 90 summicron or elmarit. I'll post some pics later on, of equipment and of pictures taken recently.
I am not totally unblemished on this forum. An issue was created two years ago, after I sold a Fujica G690 with two lenses to member fenio. I failed to send the repair manual in due time and this caused a misunderstanding. It became unpleasant and I backed off when the impression was created that I had cheated him (not having sold equipment according to description). Anyway I won't repeat the issue here, only state my willingness to discuss it anew should the opportunity arise. On ebay I have sold several cameras and lenses, under the identity 'blueeyesfoto'.
I tend to buy equipment off the brazilian ebay (www.mercadolivre.com.br) where I have come upon incredible deals. A canon 7sz with 50-0.95 for 200 dollars, an M3 for 150 bucks, etc. etc. I can alert you when something comes up, but you'd have to be able to communicate at least in spanish, better portuguese.
I think this is a great forum. I visit it 2 to 3 times a day, just to think and play with photography.
Any members in Brazil, stand up please !

My M5s need red dots!
Well... owning up to a mistake makes you a reliable fellow. Of course, to react in a quick-tempered way isn't the best solution when these things come up, but at least you admit it. Hence, welcome again! 
EDIT: Weren't you, at one time, selling a Leica M4? I recall vaguely having exchanged messages with you or someone in South America about a camera of this type.

Oi, Wouter.
Welcome.
Sou brasileiro, mas vivo em Buenos Aires. Atualmente eu uso uma M6 com um Summicron 50. Estou procurando uma lente 35. Se souber de alguma coisa, me avise porque estou sempre indo pro Brasil.

That was me, with the m4. I remember having exchanged pms with you about it.
In retrospect, I kind of regret having sold it - but needed the money. It was a kit with a summilux 50 and a summaron 35.

Bom dia André. Visitei Buenos Aires no ano passado e fiquei totalmente encantado com a cidade. Boas lentes leitz no Brasil é um pouco dificil, às vezes a angelfoto tem algo (www.angelfoto.com.br). Vale a pena monitorar o mercadolivre também. Quando vem para o Brasil, qual é o seu destino ? Eu estou em João Pessoa. Abração !
