[LRflex] Re: Leica Newbee

Welcome Kevin!

I sold my Nikons and bougt my first Leica (R3Mot) from Philippe (Philippe,
you should advertise your R8 from time to time :-)), and a Leicaflex SL. All
in less than 6 months after I've joined this list. It's addictive :-)

Should you have any questions regarding Leica reflex cameras (I've had
many), this is surely the right place to ask and share. Many Connoisseurs
here to help.

Best,
Miha
