Hi everyone!
Part one: Hi!
I am new here! I have been into photography for a few years...started with SLR 35mm format...moved onto playing with cheap medium format (i.e. Ciro-Flex). Recently I got a digital camera (Nikon D50) which I love...but I have been seriously wanting to explore range finders. As far as that goes I have no budget! So I got a Ziess Ikon Contessamat on Ebay. Well that was a bust...needs repair because the film advance is messed up. I also picked up a 5 dollar camera (Walz Wide) at a place kind of like Goodwill...Well no suprise here it has shutter problems. So long story short...have not been able to explore range finders yet! Now the funny part is that I recently was going through my slides and pictures and found a camera I had forgotten I own...its a Yashica Electro 35 and I even have a battery in it that works! So tomorrow I am going to put a roll through it and give it a try!
Parttwo: Neck strap question
A short while ago I saw in the sponsor section a guy who sells leather camera straps and I would like to get one. I forgot his name though...does anyone know the URL?
THanks!
