I'm glad to see pretty even distribution too.
Just for the record, I'm 35. Funny how that seemed old 15 years ago, but not so much anymore...

Pain is scary.
Over there to the left.
Only thing I own that is older than me is my 1964 John Deere 110 RF tractor.
Popstar, I remember when I was a kid and my first grade teacher asked us to figure
out how old we would be in the year 2000 I thought 35 was sooooo old and it
seemed so far away.....

I'm older than most of my classics (however still wore diapers for most), and younger than one or two.
Older than dirt.

That's the one.
Less than 4 months ago. Doesn't time fly when you are enjoying yourself. Maybe I am not a year older after all!

Yep, that must be the one. Let's see if this one fills up similarly. Should be so, I guess.

I'm slightly older than my two Barnack Leicas, at age 76. I don't like to recall my age, so it is not in my avatar.

A nice mature group, at 53 I fell at home.

I turned 53 on December 4, so I am the age/era of my Leica IIIF Red dial and Nikon S2 chrome dial. I would like to track down a Leica that was made the same day I was...

30, just turned last week. Which group does that put me in, 20-30, or 30-40? I think I'll take the second.

Well I'm 18. I doubt anyone younger than that is going to speak up so I'll just assume I am Rangefinderforum's genius baby.

Old Enough
My first 35mm rangefinder was a Certo Dollina II purchased by my old man in 1938 who taught me photography/darkroom skills. My first enlarger was made from a Speed Graphic 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 attached to a home made condenser fashioned by my grandfather. I can't remember not having a serious photographer in the family, but I do remember watching my prints emerge from under a ruby red at the age of eight.
I'm old enough to have poo pooed SLRs like digitals are poo pooed by some today.
I made the choice between a Nikon F and an M4 1967. I still have the M4 (which I traded 'up' from and M2-R). My first SLR worthy of keeping is a Canon digital. Go figure; I'm a slow learner who invests wisely.
I see a film revival kicked off a by a rangefinder movement. What's old is new again, and what takes a tad bit of skill to master gives the greatest amount of freedom, speed, control, and expression.

"December 4, for me, too, bobkonos! What are the odds!"
Cool! Glad to know another December 4 birthday person. I saw that a Steve Hoffman and I have the exact same birthday as evidenced by the announcement I saw on the RFF on December 4. So I'd say the odds are pretty good.
Birthdays fascinate me: it is the one thing you really cannot change.

Exposing since 1969.
Nice to see a crop of 20-30 year olds.
Most of my cameras are much younger than me (1965 manufacture date), all the RF's are. I do have a nice Burke & James 8X10" view camera my grandpa William C. Austin bought for group portraits for his commercial photo business in Brevard, NC. I never knew him, as he and my maternal grandmother Mildred were killed in a 1953 auto accident by a truck driver abusing Benzedrine. Still it's nice to use something he did, though I've not got too many good negatives out of it yet. It's hard to get reliable development of big color negatives.
