Hi Martin,

I found myself in the same situation as you. I have used the Nikon FE2 for about 15 years, but my FE2 was stolen. I could not afford the $1500 (body only) for the FM3A here in Australia so I stayed with the FE2.

I found one in mint condition with a 50 f1.4 and a 35-105 lens with the original box and manual for approx $800. I'm very happy with my new FE2 and I guess I saved quite a lot of money as well.

For the same money as an FM3A here in Australia I could buy two FE2 in top condition.

All the best

Mick

I always keep Provia 100 close at hand. If I shoot neg than it's Reala.

Hi All,

<p>

Just sold my Nikon F4s with 80-200f2.8 and 35-70f2.8 lens to get into a R kit. I had a play with a friends R7 and the 100 APO macro lens, very nice. I love the feel and build quality of Leica. I would like your recommendation on a body and a two lens setup. I am considering a R7 with 80-200f4 and 35-70f4, staying in line with my previous Nikon kit. I had a look at the R8 but I was not overly impressed with the shape, I guess I still love the classic shape. I shoot chrome for a stock library and only need a simple kit when traveling. Any thoughts ?.

<p>

For me when I photograph, something very special is happening, it

feels almost spritual. It makes me whole.

My Leica R7 and APO Macro-Elmarit-R 100mm f2.8 lens. Traded for

Medium Format. I guess we live and learn.
