R2A - can't wait

[paulpp]

Have just purchased a R2A and a 35mm f/2.5 P11 lens - now waiting for them to arrive, probably tomorrow. After a time away from RF cameras really looking forward to them. Any tips (especially things to avoid) would be much appreciated.

I have a R2A and 35mm f/1.4 on its way too, my first rangefinder - I've had enough of digital, it has its place but it doesn't feel like 'photography' compared to film for me.

Great camera... it has served me well for over a year. With a Luigi case it is much quieter and fits my hand better.

Good luck. Just try to remember to remove the lens cap.

The meter should give him a hint on that one.

Oops. Forgot about that. I've used plenty of RF cameras, but the only one with a meter was the original Canonet, and that was back in the first half of the 1960s.
