donald_macklin Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 48.Purchased my first M3 w/50mmElmar for $500.00CDN in 1979 after 3 weeks at sea commercial fishing.My second M3 w/50mmDR I purchased last year as it was a good deal.Going medium format this year with a Silvestri T-30,as wide angle photography in 35mm format,to my eye,just doesn't cut it.

connmenvii Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 21 years old. bought it when i was 19 off you photo.net folks for a damn good price. everyone says a leica is expensive but when you get an m6 and a 35 f/2 aspherical for $1500 how can you go wrong. so i will make the arguement that you don't have to be rich to buy one just work for a little bit. a digital is much more money..... but film does add up.

jorge Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 57. First used a LTM when I was 14 (my father's). My brother had it stolen some six years later and my father replaced it with a Canonet 19. He thought he had a much better camera. I got me another LTF (IIIf) in '99. M user since 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew1 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 32. Started using when I was 24 or 25, when I was given a stash of M gear by an elderly relative who wasn't going to use it anymore. I've since bought a few other lenses and another body or two. I work assisting, shooting, printing, consulting, and in photo equipment sales to pay for my habit (as well as rent and bills!) for myself.
