Hello fellow Leica users,
Looking at the previous introductions make me feel
much more like the newbie then ever. I've only used
Leica for a little past 6 years now. I'm a 36 year
old New Yorker, and I started photography about 17
years ago with my dad's Nikon EM. I moved around the
Nikon scene for a decade until I bumped into a Leica M
user at work. I picked up an M3 & 40 soon after and
shot with this instead of an SLR. I soon missed my
tele's but really wanted to keep to the solidness I
associated with the Leica M.
After some soul searching, I wound up with a basic kit
consisting of an SL, 50, 90, 135 and 180. I only
carry 2 lenses at any given time as it weighs like a
ton of bricks when full. Plus now I use an M with a
21 along with my SL kit in the same bag. I wanted to
find a decent wide for the SL but after using a
friend's 19mm with an R8 I was spoiled. Now I'm
saving up for an R8 to handle those wide angles that
don't fit on the SL.
I shoot mainly landscape and architectural photos. I
often shoot portraits when requested as well as
events. I hope this thread wasn't too long to read.
I know you guys and gals out there could have shot a
roll by now ;)
Regards,
Gary
