Oh no!!

[Ash]

I'm down a Leica!

Brian will be sending me a cheque very soon for the IIIc, so it will be returning from whence it came! Early/Mid-October I received the camera, so Early/Mid-February it goes. Only an extended holiday with me I guess.

Anyway I'm sad to see it go, but I still have the Contax II and I still have the Leica Standard.


Now for the bad news! I want a Leica M!!

Am I mad?!

I'll have a little over 2 tons once the IIIc has disappears, and I saw a user M2 for sale from a dealer for £365. I know, same cashflow problem I had with the CRR thing, but one less Leica!

I can hopefully raise up to 3ton without too much crying, but I really ought to have a job I think!



So, Oh No!!
If only Clarence had waited an extra hour or two, I'd be the proud owner of a CL, but instead I'm the proud owner of a headache over what camera my cash is to be saved for!

Is there a pill for GAS?

Is there a pill for GAS?

I hear cyanide works.

Short of that, you need to find religion.

 

[Ash]

I'm insulted Frank!

 

[Diggin99]

Keh has a BGN CL, you could call them and ask about it!

 

[Ash]

Call from the UK? No thanks!

I'm looking to buy within Europe. Once you add the cost of tax and shipping, there isn't much to be saved from buying outside the country.

Don't get a CL Ash ... they're 'dinky' compared to an M. I picked up a user M2 for $500.00 Australian a while ago ... it still needs a CLA yet but Youxin only charges $100.00 for that and then it will be my spare to go with the really nice one I picked up recently ... courtesy of Roland's constant perusing of eBay!

I think you would really 'click' with an M2 because you seem to like the 35mm focal length ... "May The Force Be With You."

 

[Ash]

Hey Keith, I'm getting pm's from all over the place with people tryin to sell me CL's!!

I do love 35mm, but I'm enjoying 50mm for portraits on RF. It's in my comfort zone

 

[Kim Coxon]

The M2 has frame lines for the 50 as well.

[Ash]

Thank goodness for that. And there was me thinking I'd need a new array of lenses Kim

Am I mad?!

If you are mad, you're no madder than just about everyone else around here
If you want an M, you go for it - and good luck to you!

 

[Keith]

Huh! ..... avatars seem to be changing daily around here. Explain yourself Ash!

 

[Ash]

Well I was being put off everytime I saw myself staring at me, so I thought Fid would be a better avatar

...but I really ought to have a job I think!

In light of that edit, I guess my advice to fake an accent won't mean much. :angel:
