Hi Everyone. this is my second posting.

I have bought many cameras before. But every since I was about 15 years old and knew a bit about cameras, I had always wanted a Leica. I never bought one earlier because I thought it was way too pricey when compared with other brands in the same range.

But I will be 50 years old on 10th July; and thought I'd get my wife to buy me one - early of course, since its only May now. So, I just got my silver D-Lux 3 a few hours ago. Yet to have a go at it. But I am looking foward to my next 50 years of life, and this time, the camera that will be with me is Leica, 24x7.

I wanted the black, initially; but I have fingers that leave smudges behind easily. So, I took the silver, instead. I decided against the leather case as I noticed the case area around the barrel doesn't close firmly when closed, leaving a gap on both sides. Whereas, the normal case is well padded and provides full protection, especially against the weather.
