Saltspring, now there's a gem. My parents live on V'couver Island just across the straight from Saltspring. I miss home...

I like the Halifax/Nova Scotia detour that this thread has taken.
There are a couple of us on here. There's another Andrew ("Merciful") who does great things with Tri-X. I was supposed to meet up with him for coffee in the fall, but it didn't happen. Perhaps when the weather improves a bit we can have a Halifax RFF meet.

Hi all, my first M arrived today and first experience with rangefinder. I have to buy a few b/w rolls of film and try it.
I have also a 5D but tired of heavyness and intrusive feels when going street shooting. I think this new toy is going to be with me for the rest of my life.
Cheers,
Santi

I was on the fence a while ago between getting a Bessa R2M or a Leica and finally decided that I could get a Leica M3 for about the same cost. So I picked up an M3 from flea-bay and much to my surprise it arrived in much better condition than I expected. The vulcanite is cracked and feels ready to fall off any second so I also ordered a grip-tac replacement kit.
Everything about the camera is very smooth and well engineered, the viewfinder is bright and clear and the film advance lever is like butter. All in all, I'm very impressed and now understand what all the fuss is about. The being said, I have yet to take any photos with it because I'm still waiting for my LTM - M adapter.

Just got it back from Sherry Krauter. I'm so glad to have it back. She did an amazing job. It's like a brand new camera.

My M8 w/ summicron 35 IV. Since it's my one and only camera, they are both self portraits, the latter one a pinhole picture, to show it without a lens.

Purists may want to turn their heads and refrain from reading/viewing any further.
I grafted an original GMP grip onto my TA Rapidwinder to make my M6TTL a little easier to hold. Tom A. makes a fantastic grip, but it's a bit bigger, it wouldn't fit my RapidWinder 1 without modifying the winder, and it costs $$$ while I have a few spare GMP grips for free Frankencamera experimenting.
It was a pretty easy mod, just drilled and tapped two fairly shallow holes. Winder works fine post-op, and the rig fits my hands better.
I've already apologized to Tom for despoiling his creation. :^}
I'd like to add a ThumbsUp CS when they're available.....
