Us gals, better stand up and be counted.

Female, been age 29 and holding for 18 years!

About 2 years ago, Guy Mancuso showed me how to part with my money faster than I thought possible, and I started out with a nice collection of Leica R lenses on a 1ds2. Does that count? I've been a M7 user for about a year and a half, and have added an M8.

Male, 53, saved up every nickel I had and worked hard and got my first Leica (used), an M4, with a 35m Summicron (used, $150) and a 90mm Tele Elmarit in 1974 (used), when I was a mere 21.

 

From there, have used a Contax G2, Mamiya 645, Hasselblad XPan with all 3 lenses (wonderful camera), an M6, and most recently been using the Panasonic DMC-LC1 and a Canon EOS 1Ds with a couple of zooms (it's good, but not great). Tired--very tired--of lugging around heavy equipment when I travel, so hoping an M8 next year will be in the works.

... and in case I would have to give Steven K. Lee - the new head of state at LEICA/ AG - some advice I would try to convince him to focus more on the female LEICA user.

 

 

 

Karl- You know that's pretty good advice. Are there more women Leica users out there but they just have better things to do than hang around internet forums? :) There certainly is no shortage of excellent female photographers.

 

This is an interesting thread Karl, thanks for starting it.

 

Just to add to what you said- I now count three women out of 135 posters. Total average age is 49.1 .

Well. since quite a few more votes are trickling in, I will be back here (after a short trip out of town) nxt Monday to see if we get towards 42.5 yrs. or not ...

 

Thx again for participating !

 

Should be nice info for the LEICA PR- people, but they know all this already for sure.

 

 

 

 

Best
