Well, I've posted here once, and got very quick and helpfull answers, and I've lurked here for a while, so it's probably time to introduce myself.
I'm Steve, live in Melbourne, Australia. At the moment I don't own a rangefinder, but I'm waiting on an Olympus XA to arrive soon. So far I have a Pentax ME-Super SLR which has taught me the little I know about photography for the last 4 or 5 years.
I'm intrigued by the idea of more traditional rangefinders, so maybe I'll hunt around garage sales for one of the compact fixed lens options - or maybe even a russian rangefinder. But for the moment, the XA will fill my needs - it seemed a cheaper option than buying a 35mm lens for the Pentax, and it's also got some other advantages (small, quiet, etc.). I've been impressed with it's capabilities, especially Gene's efforts with one - I love his winter city shots.
Other interests include old cars (I drive a 1968 Datsun Sports Roadster), computer games (Hi Taffer, I'm Moonshadow over at TTLG!), good music, and good food and wine.
Why are all my hobbies so expensive?
:bang:
Cheers,
Steve
