Greetings!

 

I'm new here and new to Leicas and rangefinders in general. Hell, I've never shot with a rangefinder before. I've also never thought I'd ever own a Leica, but my M7 came in over the weekend and I'm itching to shoot. I do have one problem... I still don't have a lens. I'm trying to get a 35mm Summicron ASPH. I just lost two auctions on eBay which were pretty decent. Looking back at it, I regret not purchasing one at the BIN price with box, papers, inspection certificate, etc. Oh well, I guess my search is still on. Maybe I can find one here.

 

It's nice to be with you all.

Welcome.  I recommend that you buy (camera and lenses, whether new or used) from a reputable Leica dealer with warranty and a good service/return policy.  There are good dealers in the area, and many others elsewhere that ship (no tax) and have a terrific reputation.   Some of them advertise on the forum and participate in forum discussions.  Always a good idea to carry insurance, too, to cover situations the warranty may not.

 

Happy shooting.

Welcome, A? - what made you choose Film against Digital? - As previously said, a Leica dealer is always a safer deal...
