Mini-me is way more fun than any camera. I am thinking of taking him on a photo adventure next week. I am going to put an ME Super in his hands, show him how to focus, he already knows how actually, point him at a target and tell him we can't leave until we take a picture of it from every angle we can think of.

Then he will have GAS and want his own camera.

Alternately take him to some far flung place and sell him into child slavery ... that M9 may be nearer than you think!

That gave me a mental image of a guy in a raincoat hanging about outside a school offering the children rolls of Tri-X!

It's good for those who buy used stuff. Some people always need the newest stuff and then they sell the almost new stuff. I like to buy the almost new stuff.

yes, yes YES!

Thanks to the two individuals (one here at RFF) who bought ZI bodies and then decided to sell them almost brand new but at a big discount.
Thanks to the guy who bought and then sold the 35mm Biogon
Thanks to the person who decided they did not want the 28m Hexanon.
Thanks to the RFF member for the ZM 50mm Planar
Thanks to the RFF member who did not want the CV 28mm f3.5
Thanks ........... for the CV 25mm, ditto the CV 21mm
Or the RFF member who was looking to dispose of his CLE
Or, the RFF member who did not get along with his 40mm Summicron.
And the lady who was so anxious to sell her Mamiya 7 & 80mm lens.
And the RFF member who did not like the 65mm lens for his Mamiya 7.
Or, the person who dumped his 50mm lens for his Mamiya 7 to KEH.
I won't bother you with the ContaxG bodies and lenses years ago, but they were all used.

but I have bought a brand new in the box MF rangefinder from a dealer in the last 24 months. It was a Holga, $22.95 as I remember.

Yes, I love GAS. Especially other's.
