I might not be done

[VictorM.]

Being done is for quitters...😀

A classic RFF quotable quote...

Blake, John said he'd take all the blame. 🙂

Sale pending on Chris' M5, but that's okay, mine's got to be black.

 

[maitrestanley]

It's impossible to ever be satisfied! Even if you owned every single piece of Leica equipment ever produced, you'll still wonder "Maybe I should get two..." 😀

 

[MikeL]

Frank, size wise the Blad might be more portable than the M5.😛

 

[FrankS]

Yes and no. There is more to live for than to acquire material wealth/goods.

i don't live to acquire gear.
i acquire gear to make you guys jealous!!

Mike, thanks for that observation. I used the 500CM recently to so some family portraits and found it difficult to focus even though it has an up-graded bright screen - this is due to my aging eyes, and I found the MF RF camera I was using as well, much easier to focus. I've got MF covered with other cameras so the Hasselblad can go to satisfy this new urge. A man has urges, right?

 

[HuubL]

So what's so special about the M5 that it's got to be black? What's wrong with a chrome one?

 

[dadsm3]

Don't forget to put aside a couple of hun for a Luigi's......

 

[JNewell]

I have one I am thinking of selling, but it's silver. Silver wears considerably better...

Joe I have a slightly different motive. I acquire gear to make my wife mad.

Wow, is that black IIIf real?

Back to the M5. I know the feeling. I wanted a set of black and chrome. I'm not there yet. I prefer my cameras not to be chrome.

Brian, you are correct.

Brian, you are correct.

Frank, Frank, Frank...

I remember when the M5 came out. And when the M4 was re-introduced because of the backlash.

M4.... MMMMmmmmmmm

M5. Isn't that the Computer that went wild and took over the Enterprise?

Yes, it was. I haven't seen Star Trek TOS in years...

 

[peterc]

Meditating on PX625 might bring enlightenment and contentment.

 

[xayraa33]

hmmm.. maybe Frank will start an M5 craze to counter the Nikon rf craze happening on this forum.
& just like what that producer told George Harrison in the movie" a Hard Day's Night" about the grotty shirts.
you can develop an inferiority complex if you do not own an M5.." Sunny Jim ".

 

[back alley]

hhhmmm...m5 or nikon s2?
doh!

😉

 

[back alley]

My S2 swiped the Sonnar from the Contax. Keep an eye on yours.

so far, i have only seen images from the czj 50/2 and they are lovely.

the cz 50/1.5 and the nikkor 50/1.4 are still a mystery to me.

M5's are evil. Don't get one. #1350177 has eaten my soul and taken over my body.
