Willkommen, Herr iDude!
I had 3 cameras when I started coming here, a digital, an SLR, and an APS point-n-shoot... now I have 25. Just keep telling yourself "This camera will be the last... and this time, I mean it!"
It helps, a little.

Bob: It may be too late for any sort of aggressive, intrusive therapy. Resign yourself. Face it: A Russian camera junkie. That's what you are. Go look in the mirror and say it three times. "I am a Russian camera junkie." (Remember the Red Queen? "What I tell you three times is true.")
On a lighter note. Take a look at ebay #7505471738. (FED2 painted black by a "master."
Do you think it's worth $60?

Har!- Alex is slipping. Looks like the "Ukraine Hand Master" (one has to wonder about such a title) has been Watching Jim Blasick's site.
Maybe the Ukranian cameras should be "Orange" now.

Welcome iDude !
After being here since 2003, I can only tell you one thing, it will only get worse.
So, it's running from here now or accept it will be that way forever

Markus, don't listen to these weak people who like to collect gears. When I came to RFF, I had 2 cameras and 6 lenses. Now I have 2 cameras and 3 lenses only. See, that's an improvement!

Oh I thought we're purely on the number of camera we own.
By the way, I won't be providing a good home for the Contax. Please send your hate messages through PMs gents.

Welcome,
And I've been to Bochum. I stayed at the Holiday Inn and drank at the Triangle. It was a lot of fun, I don't remember most of it!

Welcome!
I feel like Peter Cook in "Bedazzled". Well Joe and I are even this week. A new member with an M3 and an existing member wanting a Canon P. Hard to tell who's ahead!
Maybe time for a Poll!
So, what lenses do you plan on getting, or are you just going to go for a second body right away?

From what I hear, Tim's Contax had a nice holiday in Melbourne, then went back home.
Can someone PLEASE buy it! Or else Tim is going to waving that nice Contax kit in front of my face in 3 weeks time... with possible spending cash in my wallet.
Help.

Yeh, I offered it to Kris on approval or return, as he wasn't 100% certain that a Contax was right for him. He decided he couldn't live with the finder (he's been spoiled by the M3) so it's coming back.
Looks like I may be destined to keep it. I have mixed feelings about this........

The finder on my Contax IIIa is a bit "squinty". But the shutter oozes precision, the wind is so smooth, and the lenses are 1st rate. I would not part with mine.

Well, what can I say? Thanks for the warm welcome, everybody. I'm just overwhelmed. An no, I won't run but stay around a bit, I guess
And don't worry, I hate the folks at the German Leica forum even more since I saw some samples taken with a Noctilux over there. Darn...
