THANK YOU SIR, HAPPY HOLIDAYS,

Hahaha😁😁😁
Have a wonderful day all.

Sorry doesn't do anything for you, duplicate it. Don't forget snow and very large dog in about 10 degrees, waiting to see your results.

Here is photo I mentioned.

We all have our likes and dislikes, and our special priorities, if we didn't their would only be one camera brand. I am not implying that the Leica is the best camera in the world, it is the best for me! It's size, it's convenience of use is what I'm looking for in a camera. I got quite discussed with bags full of camera gear when most of the time just one camera, one lense was all I needed, but that's just me. 12 years ago when I moved upstate, after 3 knee replacements walking around with big bodies and big glass just didn't work. I started just using one camera, and one lense. It's perfect for me. My first shot with my M8 was taken in the middle of a snow storm while walking my dog. It was nothing special, just a shot of my driveway and house, hand held. I don't no if any of you have seen it, but I'm sure many will agree an excellent image under such adverse conditions. My present location puts me I a snow belt, not uncommon to get 24" of snow over nite. I no I could not walk around, in deep snow with dog on leash, with a DSLR and heavy lenses and have made this capture.

But most of all I want to say just one thing,

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season, it was nice to have some stimulating conversation.

Heres one for you most people can't say it no less spell it
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis ( Black lung) longest word 45 letters.
Learned how to spell it when I was a kid, my IQ 135 then.

I have some posted images, look them over, their will be a lot more coming in the very near future. I suffered a severe injury to my back last year so it's a bit hard getting reorganized rt now, still digging thru boxes.
In the meantime here's wishing all a very Merry Christmas and I hope Santa puts a New M10 in all your stockings!

In my eyes yes, my images were perfect, the Leica meters worked exceptionally well
II think you guys are getting carried away, this isn't a competition just trying to say that the camera industry getting carried away, you can do so much with a lot kess.

I hope I didn't sound like a typical Leica effectionado, I'm not just telling my experience in the world of photography. I have had an interest in photography since 1964 when I got my first Leica as a down payment on a car I was selling. The buyer, was the Prince of Thailand who was visiting USA with a friend of mine going to school in Manchester. He gave me a complete camera case with camera, lenses, flash and all other items he had for camera. Till that point I never heard of a leica. Several images I shot in the first couple of weeks were published in some camera mags and my nude, 1st and only one I ever took was deemed a masterpiece by Leitz, posted here, taken over 50 years ago. Those are my experiences that led me to Leica. I also have Kodak DCS pro14N, I bought for telephoto use and a Nikon D200, Nikon sucked Kodak great!

I moved recently and all, or most of my photos on back up drive. I am trying to get it together but I am sort of incapacitated rt now. My photos are nothing special just sort of a journal of where I have lived, but they are all quality images, sharp, and all graphically well laid out. You will be the first to see them as soon as I get them up, I hope they will please you.

[quote=tomcat]I hope that during the next 20 years that you plan to live that you will learn to spell and use some proper grammar-lol. I wish that Santa would bring you the English books for grammar and a spelling book. Merry Christmas,[/quo

My spelling is actually very good, my typing sucks!

Just a bit annoyed with the camera manufacturers that are convincing photographers to keep buying a better product when their isn't any. A camera produces an image that's all, it's the photographer that finds that image and captures it for posterity, be it film or digital.

I agree prices to day outrageous. My last Leica purchase my M8 and have no intention of buying another. If I find a good deal on a couple of Leica lenses I may go a little crazy but no intention in doing so.

[quote=BebuLamar]How accurate is
They are spot on, even on my IIIf and my M3, it is very, very rare I ever take more than 1 shot of a given image.
