robert_edge Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I have acquired a Leica film camera. Apart from this part of photo.net, what are the major fora/forums for users of these cameras? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vic_. Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 LUG (Leica Users Group). Ingrown bunch, resulting in defective gene pool. Hostile to outsiders. Range Finder Forum. Really excessive gear talk. Black vs. Chrome and so on. Creamy vs. harsh nokeh. Just like here! PND (on Flickr). Stands for Photo.net Dissidents (self-proclaimed). All they do is discuss this Leica forum and Greenspun's trove of naked women pictures (penis envy I think). Some of them have returned, as PND died an unnatural death (due to lack of interest). It's currently on life support. ULFIE (on Flickr). Stand for Uncensored Leica Forum in Exile. Apparently all *their* members have gone into exile from that forum. It's dead.

vic_. Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 That was bokeh, not nokeh. That's how much I know! There is also the Leica Company's official user forum: http://www.leica-camera-user.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_edge Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Thanks, I'm familiar with the Rangefinder Forum and APUG (which has a rangefinder section), the others are new to me. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd frederick Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I moderate a subforum of the www.filmlives.net forum. My area is the Exotic Camera forum, and we have other subforums that would easily fit into Leica and rangefinder photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakley Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 <i> ULFIE (on Flickr). Stand for Uncensored Leica Forum in Exile. Apparently all *their* members have gone into exile from that forum. It's dead.</i> <p> ULFIE isn't <i>quite</i> dead; some people are still posting photos to the pool pretty regularly. There are no discussions going on there, though, and in fact something about the design of the flickr site and its discussion facility seems to generate less robust discussions and less long-lived communities than the Photo.net structure. People are of course still free to join ULFIE and re-start discussions there; the point of the group was to give people someplace to discuss without any moderator interference. <p> I'd love to see a study someday on site design, discussion quality, and community longevity. My feeling is that the way a site looks and works have a big influence on what kinds of communities grow up around the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre_harrison Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 "Greenspun's trove of naked women pictures (penis envy I think)" <p> Wow, what kind of women are those? Only in America, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
