Hi Guys and Girls,
Just thought I would introduce myselt. I am Mark
I've finally done it! Just bought a Leica M8. After many years of wanting a real camera. Ever since I inherited my Fathers OM10 some 25 years ago. and having had many cameras from Canon and Nikom SLRs and many different compacts (including a Leica D Lux) I now have the camera of my dreams. We won't mention having sold my soul to the Germans because of the cost. Hey, You only get what you pay for! Abd believe me, and as many of you know this is quality gear. However, some dancing girls, champagne and fireworks would have been nice!! Maybe they can arrange for them when I buy my next Leica lens. Can you sell your soul twice? I'm fat, there is probably enough to go around.
I bought the M8 and a 50mm F2 Summicron together with a few other bits and bobs from RG Lewis in London this week. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff (all of 'em) Not to mention the good deal they put together for me, thanks Len.. However when I got home to find that a certain piece of registration paperwork wasn't in the box thier name was mud. Until that is, I phoned them the following morning to find out where it was they redeemed themselves by saying "Thats alright we've already posted it for you!" Now that's what I call 'Old fashioned' service. Brilliant.
I cant wait for any opportunity (or excuse) to us my new baby now, whilst trying to calculate how I can afford that wide angle lens.
Now where did I put that camera bag, my Precious.
