Hi dear Flexers,

I think we all share this open-minded approach to the list.
Maybe, sometimes we could share more, pictures particularly.
I happen to belong, along with others here, to another or other lists, where any combination is accepted, or at least respectfully tolerated, and I can compare the dynamics as a result. What is somewhat missing to make our Reflex list a more lively community is IMHO sharing pictures, or photographs, or pixes, call mine what you want, and commenting on them. Posts including photographs are not so many here, and I sometimes wish every member would post one image at least once a month, old or new. 
Which does not exclude learned or experienced talk on gear, far from it.
We might all benefit from the shared experience and comments.
Is it wishful thinking?
Am I a dreamer?

The answer is yours for the shooting.

Yours
Phil...x
PS: I really DK what a Krasnogorsk F-21 is. Sounds like a type of military aircraft to me , must be wrong hence can't be right. ;-)

Hi Keith,

I fully agree with you: I prefer a lively forum of a bunch of Leica
enthousiasts.
Weather rangefinder or reflex!

I myself owe 3 SLR-Leicas including R8 with DM-R and 6 rangefinder Leicas.
No M8 yet, still waiting for a full-frame Leica.

What the heck is a Krasnogorsk F-21? I saw one on Ebay. Looks like a kind
of  Robot-camera?!

Kind regards

Fred Hess

Hi Howard
I just hope you're still grinning when you open the box!  ;-)

Flexers come in all shapes, sizes and forms!  As well as my R-E, I have
about 30 other cameras.  Some of them, I prefer to the R-E - yes, it has
to be said - some are collectors' items only (e.g. Krasnogorsk F-21);
one or two don't work, etc., etc.  Now, if I could afford an R9, with
800 Telyt, and a nice range of more 'normal' lenses, wouldn't I be the
happy one!  But one can live in hopes.  And in the meantime, enjoy the
forum, take lots of photographs with whatever comes to hand, and take
life as it comes.  Which would you prefer: an active, lively forum that
supports the spirit of Leica, or a miserable handful of old f___ts who
can't see beyond their blinkered view, solemnly debating only the merits
(and perhaps snob value!) of their idolised R-series of such-and-such
vintage?

I know which I'd rather have!!
