Fellow R Shooters:
    
     Just a little note to introduce myself.  My name is John, I have lived in 
Philadelphia all of my life.  I work for the philadelphia police dept as a 
photographer supervisor.  We do prisoner processing, some of the public event 
stuff and we handle the still photography for graduations and promotions.  We 
are responsible for developing all of the film that police shoot during 
investigations,  that is whats left of it.   On the job we use Nikon digital 
and film cameras and every once in a while a medium or large fromat.  

     Personally I shoot everything from 35mm to 8x10.  I do most of my work in 
35mm with Leica M and R cameras. I have been at this hobby/profession for about 
40 years.   rvrn though I love M cameras for their simplicity . I find myself 
more attracted to the R cameras there is jsut something about looking through 
an incredible peice of glass and composing on the ground glass.  I have done 
over 600 weddings, a lot of portraits. still lifes, and scenics.  But, what I 
enjoy the most is going to carnivals and public events.  Just taking photos of 
people having fun.  

     I am finally ready to give  digital a try,( personally i dont think it 
will last, LOL) I am  thinking of getting one of the new Canon Rebel XSi nad an 
adapter and using it with sof this Lieca glass I already own.  are there more 
than one kind or brand of adapter out there.  

Thanks
John
