Good Mornin' Nevin!
Like Philippe, I owe you a belated welcome to this list. I have been
too busy with other projects, of late, and am only now catching up on
list mail.
I have enjoyed reading your interesting and well written posts. I
hope, somewhere along the line, we will get to see some of the fruits
of your SL standard, R3 & R4.
Although I was a Nikon man for the first 25 years of my photographic
life, I moved to the R3 in the early/mid 80's, and never looked
back. In the intervening years, I've gone through the R5, R6, R8
and, briefly, and R9.... the last two with a DMR. Now, after a
disastrous incident in Solms (you don't want to know!) I am using my
Leica glass on an Olympus E3 along with a couple of Oly lenses. As
the McDonald's ad says "I'm lovin' it!
I do need to correct one factual error in Philippe's last post.
He said: "Long live Leica reflexes and David's (our) list."
The first part, I agree with. However, this is our list, not
mine. I do much of the administrative work, it's true. But the list
owner is Xavier ... a quiet Parisian, with a quick mind. a
good "eye" and a ready smile. But others have run this list before
us, and, eventually, others will run it after us. The list is what
we make of it, and I suppose my greatest disappointment is that of
our 300+ members, most of the contributions comes from 10% of the members.
This is a great forum, with a lot of knowledge to share. It's good
to "hear" your voice. Thanks for introducing yourself and joining
the "fray". :-)
Cheers!
David.
