hey all
been watching this thread for quite awhile, finally joining the procession.
here's my M6 w/35 from about 10 years ago, my grandfather's (now in my hands) IIIC from the ’40s (with VC meter), and my M8 w/21-cum-28 from last year, all near and dear to my heart.
also, i haven't got a gallery put together here yet, but here's a link to a blog entry from my work. i'm the editor of a skateboard magazine in san francisco. all the photos here are from a family trip to japan during which i broke in my M8...

"DAMN!

i never thought anybody on here would know SLAP... hi HSI.
i'm pretty much the only regular one, through joe brook and lance dawes have had them, too. i mostly use mine for portraits and music stuff, but i've had a decent amount of skate stuff w/leicas over the last 10 years.

I used to read Slap back in high school. I liked it -- a nice break from Thrasher and TWS. Nice pics of the Japan trip!

You know it all listed at the bottom?
Other than that, beautiful collection.

Yeah Slap was my favorite skate mag back in high school. Never thought any skate photographers would use rangefinders though.

here's my contribution. I'm not the best digital photographer...

Two Brownie Points if you can ID this mess.
I spy a black artisan and artist cloth strap. I'm not sure what the silver thing is it's attached to.

Nice to sell some variety in the 1D / Hasselblad driven world of skateboarding.

Also, in addition to your post, here is a shot I did just a day ago with my Leica:

That's kinda funny, a 30 year old gear shot, and somebody's probably got that same kit today and is taking that same gear shot.

Of course I'm guilty of it too, but I have always thought it a bit ironic and comical that the most viewed and most posted to thread on this forum dedicated to rangefinder photography is the one with a bunch of pictures OF rangefinder cameras, 98% of which are taken WITH a digital slr or p&s. Now I gotta go take some pics of my new M2 with my lumix!
