IIf on its way !

After spending a lot of time reading every articles I could on the subject, I finally decided myself and grabbed a screwmount Leica ! This forum also helped me a lot ! Thank you guys for helping me out in my quest for a LTM Leica !

Not a really useful post, but I always like to see people spending their money on cameras, it somewhat makes me feel better about it ! Hope it will insipire some of you !

Julien

Good luck with the IIf, Julien. You will find it -- specially the viewfinder -- rather different from your other cameras.

Well Julien, I see you are starting from SLR. Very different indeed. Back to basics! It will take some getting used to, but is is such a great little camera...

Hope you enjoy it. I got a IIf recently (my first Barnack), and it's the most fun I've had with a camera in a long time.

I love my IIf. If you wear glasses, watch out that the VF doesn't scratch your glasses.

My IIf is in Russia on it's was way to Oleg to have it's broken shutter replaced and CLA. I bought it broken for a good price. This will be the third camera I've sent Oleg so I feel confident about sending it to him.
