john_layton Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Wow! I'm not middle aged! Way cool! Now I can totally ignore my grumpiness/creakiness in the morning - and impress my S.O. with the revitalized prowess which comes from knowing that I'm not yet over-the-hill!! Thank You!! (I'm now genuflecting in your direction). So glad to be a "Journeyman!" (about to take a journey also!) and I've got two M-bodies and three M-lenses.

tom_levidiotis Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 middle-aged, embarrassed to tell: 3 M-6s, 12 lenses if you count 5 VCs, film only. Embarrassed b/c I promised myself when I bought first M-6 (slightly over 2 yrs ago) that I wouldn't end up with 12 lenses as I did with my Nikon F. I wd use my head and learn to live prudently, training myself with one or two or certainly no more than three lenses. I wd spend my money and time on film and getting better at the craft. But then what Walt Whitman called "the mania of owning things" kicked in. I was hating myself for being such a hoarder until a couple of weeks ago when I was in NYC at a camera shop with an M-6 around my neck. A fellow shopper struck up a conversation. He was wearing the world's neatest (some sort of green leather, or was it ostrich hide bound) double stroke M-3 around his and let drop that he owned 12 M's. I still feel bad but not terrible.

m.c.fitz Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 So, from being a spring chicken (chicken, female,) one then progresses to journeyman (male)? Call me a spring chicken, I'll never be a journeyman, journeywoman, perhaps. 2 bodies, four lenses. What if someone is younger than 40? babe in arms? hot babe in arms? where's Peter A when you need him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry_pfile3 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 63 years old. Middleaged? Don't think I'll make it to 126. M's?-2,3,7, and a NIB M6 HM if anybody out there is interested in one. Leica Lenses? 24, 3-35s, 40, 4-50s, 4-90s, 135, 200. Have a D2, but can't really figure out PS very well, so use it mainly for e-mailing shots to the kids. No M8 in my future. Summary-TDM (too damn many) bodies and lenses. Might make the heirs happy though. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
