A New Leica User

[duality]

I've finally realised my dream and am now the proud owner of a Leica M7 and Summilux-M f/1.4 50mm lens.

I'm happy to be a member of the worldwide Leica community, and looking forward to using my Leica around the world on my travels.

Just thought I'd say hi. (^ ^)

I've met Alan Shearer a few times - he lives in the village I used to live in with my parents and drinks in the same pub as my dad. I'm not at all into football though (^ ^)

Glad to be here, and I'll post up some pictures when I have some developed.

Welcome to the forum Duality. That's a great kit you've bought yourself. I look forward to seeing your photographs.

very cool about Mr Shearer

not being into football (soccer locally) is a well-known phenomenon is the u.s. 🙂

please do post photos - that is one thing everyone on rff seems to agree, the more the better

I thought of the same question but figured I would give his wallet a chance to catch it's breath before starting the talk of a 35 lux. 😀

I grew up in that same village. Parents still live there. If I had lived there myself over the past few years I could have done a photo project on all the houses they pulled down to be replaced by vulgar monstrosities. 😡

Really admired your photo's on Flickr. 🙂

Well: As Mike well knows, I am Alan Shearer, but not THE Alan Shearer. If it helps, I'm not into football either (what we call football). I do like soccer somewhat though.

Welcome. Very nice set you have. I wish now that I have had my 50 Cron, that I had gone the extra for the 1.4. I could use it. Good choice.

 

[John]

You have a wonderful set there. Welcome to the forum. There are many lenses to discover and play with, but few if any can surpass what you have now. 🙂
