Guest Posted May 10, 2011 Share #262 Posted May 10, 2011 Male 53, first Leica was an old M2 with 35mm in 1974. Kept the body, traded in the lens for a new CL+40mm and a 90mm to put on my M2. CL body broke down several times, traded it in for a CLE and the M2 for a M3. Then all this and the Nikon gear went for Oly OM and a Contax with the front lid, that brought the lens out, forgot the name. It broke down faster than the CL though. Found he combination of Leica, that I was using most of the times and Nikon contraintuitive, because the distance and diaphragm rings were turning in opposite directions. OlyOM and having a young guy's buget made me part with Leica M, a mistake not to be repeted. Got two M8s before I started posting here towards the end of 2008.

stuny Posted May 10, 2011 Share #271 Posted May 10, 2011 This thread started in December 2006, and until this morning, had no updates since some time in 2007. I think it might be a bit stale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJP Posted May 12, 2011 Share #273 Posted May 12, 2011 This thread started in December 2006, and until this morning, had no updates since some time in 2007. I think it might be a bit stale. Yes it looks a bit like something I found moving in the refrigerator recently:D Anyway Guy is out of the loop IIRC. Male, 51, M2 & M8, started with Leica stuff when I was 49 (24 if you include Leitz microscopes). From a photography point of view the most stupid decision I made was not to start with Leica camera's earlier in life - basically I thought it was hype & no substance (+ the price, although that would have been a minor obstacle). Should have known better, but some things come with age apparently. The microscope mentioned above was a Leitz Orthoplan pol. I had some additional gizmo's made at the mechanical workshop (of the company I was working for at the time) and they commented on the ridiculously high quality of the engineering & even complimented me on my purchasing of the thing. That was the first and only time I got a remark like that from the technicians. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesk8752 Posted May 13, 2011 Share #275 Posted May 13, 2011 Bought my first Leica (a IIIf) in December 09; caught the Leica bug and bought a used M8.2 in January 10; now have 14 Leica bodies and 39 Leica lenses. My collection is still growing... I was a 68 year old male when I began with Leica; I'm still a male but the rest is subject to change!

k_g_wolf ✝ Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share #277 Posted May 13, 2011 An old threat indeed ! But why NOT starting a new poll for a week or two ? Wouldn´t mind to work out the results once more ... This might perhaps end with new impressions about how "young" Leicamaniacs have become in the meantime ... Best wishes GEORG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
