COMMENT: I joined this forum after getting the RF bug late last year. I got scammed on a few rangefinders on eBay and was lamenting on this forum about my problems, when David offered to fix my cameras for me. We arranged a trade, and David worked diligently, patiently, and with kindness in fixing my Canonet GIII-QL17. You can actually find a post or two on this forum of David working through that particular camera. Today I sent up my other camera in need of help. David is an excellent guy, a true treasure to this forum, and is really cool person to know.
I am very blessed to know someone like David. Without him, I would have been turned off to rangefinder photography and would have probably just junked my cameras and moved on with life. Because of him, I can now enjoy this hobby.
The next time the R.F.-G.A.S. (Range Finder Gear Acquisition Syndrome) hits me, I'll contact David first for getting a camera!
Thank You,
