15 years

It would be interesting to hear about the founding of this site - how it came about and maybe revisit some of the 1st topics discussed?

If you check the Rangefinder General Discussion page, and go to 'last' in the messages, at current date there are 449 pages of discussion. The first post was by MP Guy.

Thread number 1 no longer exists, but thread 2 does:

And thread 3 is the Welcome message!

Yes, I didn't think of that. I knew MP Guy was the first because he was RFF's founder. His name is Jorge Torralba, he's still here but doesn't post often. He passed ownership of the site to Steve Gandy back in 2007.

yes, i knew that story.
thanks all for contributing to a great online community
 
My first post. I joined when I bought my first rangefinder, an Epson R-D1, after selling my first "proper" camera, a Canon 10D dSLR. So, here I still am 14 years later despite no longer using rangefinders...
 
Congratulations!

I also joined RFF about 15 years ago.
I wonder how many hours we have spent "being online at RFF"?

I posted this photo in January 2006 as my first image posted to RFF. It was for a test of many 50mm lenses.

And we have met twice! 🙂

Time flies, we see that at our children. My daughter was 1 when I joined, she's now 14. My son wasn't even born then.

Congratulations on having son and daughter!
I met up with you in Marburg first, and then years later in Wetzlar.
