geoffrey_hamill1 Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 St.Louis, MO Brand new amateur with a Leica- previously used Olympus SLR and recently a digital (not the same!). Have just begun to understand what shooting with a Leica really means- the solid feel, the control, the mystique and most importantly the lens. Am awaiting development of my first roll of film with an M7 35ASPH. Thanks to all in the forum for their advice, wisdom and encouragment. I hope to learn from you all for many years and someday be able to offer my own tips based on experience. Geoffrey Hamill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a._j._valys Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Since you asked: A sometimes serious amateur for the past 50 or so years. Been torturing Nikons until recently, when I decided to try some Leicas for their glass. I guess I could get paid, but it is more fun to be free. I am retired and live in Welfare, Texas, and hope my place of residence is not an indication of my financial standing. Ciao, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
