It wasn't my fault...

... I had no intention of spending any money, honest. But after a work meeting nearby yesterday I found myself outside Richard Caplan. Thought I'd pop in, just for a browse.

Oops. I appear to have come out with a secondhand M6. How did that happen?

🙂

My first Leica. W00t. Note to self: stop going into camera shops.

Richard Caplan are good people, and I'm sure that you'll be very pleased with this gorgeous camera.

Congratulations on your M6 and even bigger congratulations on getting into Richard Caplan, they won't open the door to me! You must be better dressed 🙂

Either that or they could tell I was weak-willed 🙂

There's a lot of used M6s around at the moment and the price was right. Now I just have to sell some unused stuff, like a kidney or a lung.

I'll bet you walked out in a very good mood 😉

This is where I went to check out the M8. Very, very dangerous place. Made an oath to change side of the street when I am passing by. (As if that helps any - I then go to the website to check the goodies) 🙄 :bang:

PS. Congratulations on the new camera. Enjoy!

Checked out the M8? And walked out without one of those silver boxes?😱
You're a strong man....😛

Congratulation to you! On the contrary, I often feel angry/upset when get out of a camera shop empty hand. Unfortunately it always happens.
Lucky you to have came out with a nice babe!😀

The light was good this afternoon so I've just put a roll through it wandering around the local streets. Lovely to use, feels good in my hands. I really like the metering display.

I suppose one salesman held you down while the another stuffed it in your pocket and a third went for the money.

Enjoy. you will like it

Congrats!!! It looks like it's in really good condition.

Damn those credit cards, thank God for giving us two lungs and two kidneys.

Enjoy!

It's like you were there, that's exactly what happened (that's my story, and I'm sticking to it) 🙂

I got caught like that a few years ago - went in to buy a used M6 and 35mm 'cron - came out with a brand new black paint MP and a Tri-Elmar.

I could have sworn I distinctly heard myself saying "no, I'll take the M6", but my bank manager said differently 😉

Just processed my first roll through the M6. In fact, my first roll ever through any Leica. Results look OK, looking forward to getting a chance to find some more interesting subject matter.
