I got published! (or: How to finance my M9..)

But you have a Nikon E3! Why do you need an M9????

I'll bet two J-3 optics modules back to back would act as a relay lens behind an LTM to F-Mount adapter to get the focus correct for the E3.
 
God ide Jarle, du kan ihvertfall ikke tape penger (har selv brukt Cafe Press). Lykke til.
 
Ya know, at first I was kinda offended. I want an M9 too and why should YOU get one off a silly t-shirt idea.

Then I was jealous. LOL. Wish I came up with it.

I may just buy one of your t-shirts...
I couldn't afford an M9, so all I got was this stupid shirt... ;)

Good luck to ya... hope you get your dream...
Me? I might have to sell my car to do it!
 
Thanks for all your encouraging comments. Just for the record. It's not only about T-shirts. There are other options as well. For example, you can easily see your own photo on the front page. Please do :)

notraces - Funny! Thanks!

Brian - good point, but really a philosophical question. Why do we *need* cameras at all? We don't. Not really.

erik - Thanks!

Tuolumne - no, you don't. Anything can happen :)

Ezzie - Takk!

DRabbit - Thanks. The "stupid shirt" idea is great. Maybe I'll make one of those as well. You've got some great shots in your gallery, btw. I'd love to see one on the leicadream front page :)

Thanks again - keep 'em coming!

Initial response has been overwhelming. People have bought T-shirts, thongs (!) and other stuff, and even donated money without asking for anything back. Needless to say, I'm both grateful and humble. So I've decided to give something back - if I can.

I'll now try to raise money for two M9s - and give one of them away. I have no idea if I'll succeed, but I'll certainly try.

Sure. I'll let you know if I get it. Realistically, I don't think a crazy idea like this will work (as I've mentioned on my "About" page), but that's not the point. At least I know I've tried, and I've had a good time doing so. Doesn't get any better than that.

Genius! Why stop at two?

If everyone who visits this site would buy a couple of T-shirts or some other stuff, I could give away a couple of Leica M9s and some nice lenses every week. No kidding.

Needless to say, it's not that easy - but I'd be happy to collect money for a third and a fourth camera as well. We'll see. One at a time.

If your goal is to redistribute M9's, why not organize an official raffle among the T shirt buyers?
It would certainly boost my will to buy a new whole set of underwears;)

I got published too!

Jarle put my photo on his front page!

Much obliged, I hope it will get me some visitors to my website:angel:

And, I will put in my ticket for "the great M9 #2 lottery" and push thumbs!
 
Man, this is sexy!

I have to admit that that is a GREAT idea you had - you fully deserve M9 and a bunch of lenses for that.

The thongs do not really get me (I am picky about ladies underware ;) ) but ... I just found the white SIGG bottles - man you are a genius! - I just may get one even it will have to be shipped to Germany.

Now, where is the swiss army knife - white would be SO COOL !
