jonoslack Posted October 6, 2006 Share #1 Posted October 6, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi There Slightly off topic, but I thought it might amuse some of you. I put my name down for an M8 some time ago - and I can't wait to get it. I did think it might be good to get a couple of secondhand lenses before it arrived, and was looking on ebay the night before last and I found this: M6 ttl, mint condition, chrome, .58, boxed, from 2001. I just put in a casual bid a couple of minutes before the end (I liked the wording you see). . . . . yes, as you can see, I won it - I had a lovely day in London today - meeting the seller, visiting Camera Press - and then going on to Classic Cameras (well, I thought I ought to buy one lens at least). . . . . . oops! I ended up with: Voigtlander 15mm (new) Leica 50mm f2 summicron (not new) Leica 90mm f2.8 (not new either but with passport) I've just been out shooting with it - keep looking at the back to see if it's okay! At least I have the lenses to go with the M8 when it arrives. The M6 is as perfect as described, and it is a joy to use - and soooooo quiet! I'll be interested to see how badly I've screwed up. Anyway, I thought some of you might be interested in someone else's slip up. Buyer's remorse . . . . . Nah (and the boss is being a darling as always). kind regards -- Jono Slack jonathan slack - photographs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
