Ran into a Toronto member on the street today...

... and he showed me his recently-acquired M2, with his CV 1,7 / 35 on it. He's had a CL before, but this is his first "real" Leica.

What a nice camera. A work of craftmanship. Beautifully maintained. Perfect focusing patch. Quiet shutter.

Its the GAS pains. Help!

Sorry about that! 😀

M2....sweet, thats on my wish list too. Enjoy it Gene, I would love to compare it to my M3 sometime.

It must be about time for another RFF Toronto Chapter meeting! Let's do it before it turns winter. Distillery District this time?

I ran into a Victoria member on the weekend while I was visiting that fine city...i felt a little like a member of a secret society as we both figured out we were both members of RFF. My gf gave me the gears about it for the rest of the weekend...

We need a vice-president in charge of secret handshakes...

You T.O. guys name the date, I'll make every effort to be there this time. Distillery District sounds great.

There is a Dale Chihuly exhibition coming up at the end of the month at Sandra Ainsley Gallery, might be a good thing to take in around a conclave of the 'Lake Ontario Basin' group (this then includes our friends in NY State, maybe even Ohio?

Distillery would be great. (If its the 28th, 29th, etc., I'm not around. Too bad.) Dale Chihuly's work in glass is really awesome. There was an exhibit of his work at the Allbright-Knox in Buffalo, maybe 10 years ago.

When two RFFers meet on the sidewalk, and one has a camera, it's snapshot time! Here are the two we took with my Leica.

Daniel Iggers and colleague on the left, and the shot Daniel took of me on the right.

Now you know what two of us look like, and hope to meet several of you on Nov 12th in the Distillery District.

Nice photos. But I thought you were going to let me perform some photoshop surgery on my "punim" before exhibiting. (No you said no such thing.)

How does one do that? "Oooh, nice ancient Leica dude, are you RFF?"

How does one do that? "Oooh, nice ancient Leica dude, are you RFF?"

James

LOL, I wonder if anyone has ever tried that! 😀

Daniel and I had met at a previous RFF Toronto get-together, though I scarcely recognized him on the street without his classic cameras ...

Daniel was walking around in public without classic RFs? Isn't there an RFF commandment prohibiting that, like, commandment #2? #1 being "Thou shalt not have any SLR before me."
