Hi there John

It must be something to do with our age!!! I'm also 64 and have had an interest in photography since I was 15. I have over the years had various cameras from my first SLR which was a Praktica FX2 up to the Nikon D300 I have currently. Well I always wanted a Leica in the early days but never could warrant buying one until a few months ago when I picked up a very nice IIIg and a month ago I got a IIIf in nearly mint condition. I think in my case I'd describe both aquisitions as perhaps trying to regain my youth.

Best wishes

Mike
