Going to Sell my M3 and M2...

[back alley]

Not even if I won the lottery... If that ever happened, it'd be a nice set of Summiluxes and a Nocti, together with a year-long trip around the world.

well, that too!

Yes.. I have been considering lenses as well.. but I need to sell off all my 50mm M mount lenses (all of.. oh.. 1 😀) and perhaps my old collapsible 90mm M (since I don't find myself using the longer focal lengths) and see if I can snag a nice 50 Lux (plus some $$$ of course).

But this all is pending how this other M body will work out for me.... who knows.. I may hate it.....but a body is a body is a body... I guess we all just want to try different bodies..... I am, after all, single 😀 😀

Crazy,
Dave

Dave, I'm lucky enough to have 3 Ms and also lucky enough to have no problem with it. One is a 0.85 mag for lenses >=50mm. Another is a 0.72 mag for lenses <=35mm. The third one is a backup. Easy! 😉 Yours are also different enough to be used in different situations. 😎 Don't sell!! 😱

I am the sole of discretion .......not really but Dave will reveal his plan when the time is right

 

[back alley]

As the previous owner of the venerable M3 in question, I can tell you it leaves a big hole in your life when it's gone!

No, seriously, the only thing worse in my mind than seller's regret is an unused camera. Reminds me of what Malcolm X wrote about all the wasted human potential he saw around him.

 

[dcsang]

shush you guys..

I will tell you this... as a single guy.... who has no monetary worries per se... and one who enjoys cameras, photography and gear; I'm always willing to try stuff out. Joe, you know that all too well yourself 🙂

So.. I'm going to try something out. Who knows.. I may end up, like Peter above, keeping all 3 M's.. I just feel like they get neglected if I'm not putting them to use 🙂

Plus the past month (and this coming one too) has been busy with weddings for me so my Canon digital gear has been getting more of a work out than it usually does. Once things settle down, I can then re-train my mind to think a la Rangefinder. 🙂 and perhaps be extremely geeky and hang three M's around my neck at the next Toronto meet.. 😀

Use straps of different lengths, Dave! 🙂

I will Frank, I will 🙂

Cheers,

ahh, zen and the art of rangefinder photography...

I'm sure DAVE'S PLAN will be revealed at the GTA RFF meeting on Sept 23, (if not before). We will ply him with adult beverages to loosen his tongue.

 

[terrafirmanada]

Well, I would like a lux, and bid on the cl with one a week or two ago, but it would have been at great cost, so I didn't push the bid. If I had more of a plan, I might of. It felt to whimsical to me. But Dave, if you have a plan, all I can say is you should go through with it. Best of luck. -(Maybe it is a Noct.)

 

[back alley]

a zen man with a plan...

this is getting too deep for me.
i just wish i could figure out a way to play.

 

[FrankS]

Everyone has their own plan to follow, whether they are consciously aware of it or not. 🙂

Just naturally high on life, Joe. (If you happen to know where I could get some though...)

I would follow most (if not all) of Frank's philosophy re: plans.

I think, and Frank please correct me if I'm wrong, that his Zen Buddhist tendencies probably keep him pretty much centered when it comes to dealing with the day-to-day tribulations.

I tend to do the same, but I find myself mixing my Catholic faith with those Zen philosophies - seems to work just fine for me :angel:

Veering Off Topic,
Dave

i think it's illegal to mail it or i would...🙂
