BABAROZA Posted December 8, 2006 Share #183 Posted December 8, 2006 As a quick response to a suggestion of Guy Mancuso and planned as a late birthday present: Please give your current sex, age, AND the age when you started with a LEICA- camera in a short post. We will work out the average age of the forum members in a few days. Let me just give a guess here: 98% male, with an average of 42.5 years of age, average LEICA- time : 6 years Well, I bring this guestimate up at once: 60 yrs of age, LEICA-M cameras since 1969, 27 yrs that is. Male forummember. Best Male 63 Leica user since 1968 - C3 - R8 -m7 and Digilux 2 & M8 to come shortly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill vann Posted December 8, 2006 Share #187 Posted December 8, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) male 54, M6TTL 6 weeks ago. family worked for Zeiss Oberkochen, and Leica was not an option! As my grandfather said, Leica makes incredible cameras and lenses, ...in fact they are almost as good as Zeiss! tough to bring home a Leica back then. bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

suse Posted December 9, 2006 Share #189 Posted December 9, 2006 Ok, another female here. 39, film cameras since teens&Uni course. Amateur photographer, but pro art critic. M6 since November 06, as a prelude to a possible M8. Decided I like the film M better. Not many other gals....I have a possible theory. When I mention some web sites to UK pro photographer artists, they reply 'oh that's where a load of middle aged men hang out and make sexist jokes about their wives'. No kidding. I have a sneaking suspicion this thread might prove them half right! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilfredo Posted December 27, 2006 Share #193 Posted December 27, 2006 Male 50. Started on Leica 5 years ago. Up until then mostly Nikon (now it's Canon, Leica and some vintage Nikkormats). My first Camera was a Kowa SETR2, back in 1971. I was able to get one of these on E-bay in fine working and cosmetic condition :-) which I keep for nostalgic reasons but can also use if I need to.

rick_dykstra Posted December 28, 2006 Share #196 Posted December 28, 2006 Current Sex - not just at the moment, actually. Age - bounced off 40 and am back down to 36. If I was female I'd be 17 again! Leica - since 95 - a pair of 10x50 trinovids to start with. Was so impressed I bought an R system and then an M system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyspedden Posted December 28, 2006 Share #197 Posted December 28, 2006 Male 69 years of age. Leica since mid to late 1950's starting with the double clutch M3. As with most of us, I have been upgrading my lenses as new technology allowed. However i am reluctant to sell off the old lenses because in certain shooting situations the older lenses may have a look preferable to the new Aspheres. Happy Birthday Guy and I wish this forum could give you a gift worth half of what you have given us in your evaluations of the DMR and M8. We all have learned and appreciated what was possible based on your very real world evaluations. I now have the appropriate hardware (DMR/R9 and lenses and M8 and lenses to cover my photographic needs from portraits to landscape to Macro and long telephoto) I also have the commentary from you on how and why you shoot certain combinations for particular results. This may be the most valuable information of all because it brings your long professional experience to those of us with much less experience but the same desire for perfection. You Da Man Woody Spedden Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
