Topic: Fancy a Leica M7

[Simon]

What, because you were a bunch of thieving buggers? 

[Clive]

   Given  half a chance it would have sprouted legs and walked!

[Rik]

We used a Leica at work to take pictures of metallugy samples.  It was kept locked in the safe for security reasons!   

I'm not surprised. They truly are great cameras.

My first SLR was a Fujica, and that produced what I thought were marvellous pictures.  I have a fantastic shot of Barry Sheen going full tilt round a bend at Brands Hatch.  It was pure fluke, and a one time only chance, but I still remember it as one of my best ever photos.  My next one was a Canon EOS, which was also fantastic, and I did a number of informal wedding shoots with that, and some of the photos turned out better than the official photographer's!

hi simon,
             any chance you still have a copy of the barry sheene pic and you can post it up on here....i'd love to see it  

[Simon]

I was dreading someone asking that, Keith, and the answer is yes and no.  Yes, I still have it, but it's packed away in a box either in the loft or the garage, so it's not available for me to post.  If I ever get round to sorting out the boxes, I'll be sure to let you have a copy. 

[Rik]

Time to get a scanner, Simon.

[Simon]

I've got one.  It's the photo which would be hard to find. 

[Rik]

The longer you wait, the harder it gets.

[Simon]

[Rik]

I wish.

[Simon]

We need the 'there there' smiley. 

[Rik]

You do. And you know where it is...

[Den]

I have still got a Fed 3 (leica copy) which I bought off a collector because I always regretted getting rid of mine   

[Rik]

They're a nice size camera to work with, aren't they, Den. Rollei 'borrowed' the look too.

Had a couple of them at one time Rik, then bought my first Praktika SLR.   ':|
