Just to introduce myself here!! I'm pretty new to photography. Not being that impress with the size of the SLR I inherited from my father. I bought my first camera, the voigtlander R2. It arrived in mail today. Very exited!!

Voigtlander R2
35 Summicron

Need (or want):
50 (haven't decide which one)
24 or 25

I just got my R2 last week. Watch that flimsy rewinding lever, mine never seems to stay in the notch during use. It doesn't rewind very smoothly too, which I understand is a characteristic of the R2. HAppy shooting!

It is the imperfection that makes it a challenge and joy to use. Expecially when the results are above ones expectation! 😀

Hi Keven,

I'll be in HK in two weeks. So Where in HK should I shop for camera stuff? I know Tung Ying Buliding in TST. Other than that, any other hidden shops that I should/must check out?

Avoid Tin Cheung, damn crooks. Tried to pass off a damaged body as a new one to me. I also had a friend relate an experience where he returned a defective lens for a new one and found the spoilt one reoffered for sale a few days later.
