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!

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. 😉

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:
