Hi all, I was just thinking about this the other day going through some old photos . And I found a picture of my youngest daughter taking a shot with my M8 and was curious when you first saw/used one ?
My father was HUGE fan of leicas and could never afford one, so he bought a Soviet clone of one, the Zorki 4 , but he somehow instilled in me the mythic abilities of one so Ive always been lusting after them , once I had some health troubles a while back I thought screw it ............
.......so the first leica I even SAW was the one I bought sight unseen from a vendor 2 years ago and I was 45!! but my daughter who is almost 6 now has taken shots with it and so has my 9 year old ( insurance makes me foolhardy!)
Oh here is the 2nd shot i took with it easy to see why my poor pentax gear is gathering dust even though i didnt have an IR/UV filter yet
