Another RF newbie here

Got my first RF, an R2 not too long ago. I heard they were getting harder to come by so I bit the bullet. Glad I did it. Got a gew rolls through it, so far so good. Learning to use it was a treat.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I've learned a lot in the last few weeks lurking this site and look forward to sharing some of my photos.


Doug,

The R2 was taken with a D70 that I borrowed from a friend. Prior to the R2, the only camera I own was a Stylus Epic. I wanted a good camera. My friend tried to convince me to buy the D70 so he let me borrow it. I debated between the Bessa and the D70 and ended up with the R2.

Welcome to the forum and RF photography.

Good choice between the D70 and R2.
