Hi everyone! Ive been into photography for a long time. Started back in the 60's when i got a Leica IIIf as a down payment for a car i was selling. I've shot many rolls of film, B/W as well as color and used to process all my B/W film, as well as my color transparencies, myself. I have several Leicas now, the last one being an M8, which i am very satisfied with. I doubt i will purchase any more since i injured myself in a fall down a flight of stairs and really cant do much walking any more. I will be 78 in Dec., but i will keep shooting!

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you can heal and enjoy again creating images. I still have my Leica 111F with a collapsible 3.5 Elmar lens. Don't develop any more but have it developed and digitized so I can work with the negatives in our digital world. If you fell in your house consider one of those chair lifts. Look forward to seeing your images.Hi everyone! Ive been into photography for a long ... (show quote)

Welcome. I hope you still do darkroom work. If your like me, I have thousands of B&W negatives that I have never printed or that I would like to go back and reprint. I had the pleasure of using a Leica M to shoot a roll of Kodachrome 25 some decades ago. What a pleasure.

Thank you all for the welcomes, truely appreciated. I think its true, once you use a Leica you never go back. I have several DSLRs i use with long lenses but when it comes to landscapes and street photography the Leicas excell.
