I'm down a Leica!

Brian will be sending me a cheque very soon for the IIIc, so it will be returning from whence it came! Early/Mid-October I received the camera, so Early/Mid-February it goes. Only an extended holiday with me I guess.

Anyway I'm sad to see it go, but I still have the Contax II and I still have the Leica Standard.


Now for the bad news! I want a Leica M!!

Am I mad?!

I'll have a little over 2 tons once the IIIc has disappears, and I saw a user M2 for sale from a dealer for £365. I know, same cashflow problem I had with the CRR thing, but one less Leica!

I can hopefully raise up to 3ton without too much crying, but I really ought to have a job I think!



So, Oh No!!
If only Clarence had waited an extra hour or two, I'd be the proud owner of a CL, but instead I'm the proud owner of a headache over what camera my cash is to be saved for!
 
Call from the UK? No thanks! :)

I'm looking to buy within Europe. Once you add the cost of tax and shipping, there isn't much to be saved from buying outside the country.
 
Don't get a CL Ash ... they're 'dinky' compared to an M. I picked up a user M2 for $500.00 Australian a while ago ... it still needs a CLA yet but Youxin only charges $100.00 for that and then it will be my spare to go with the really nice one I picked up recently ... courtesy of Roland's constant perusing of eBay!

I think you would really 'click' with an M2 because you seem to like the 35mm focal length ... "May The Force Be With You." :p
 
Hey Keith, I'm getting pm's from all over the place with people tryin to sell me CL's!!

I do love 35mm, but I'm enjoying 50mm for portraits on RF. It's in my comfort zone ;)
 
The M2 has frame lines for the 50 as well. ;)

Thank goodness for that. And there was me thinking I'd need a new array of lenses Kim :D
 
Huh! ..... avatars seem to be changing daily around here. Explain yourself Ash! :eek:
 
Well I was being put off everytime I saw myself staring at me, so I thought Fid would be a better avatar ;)
