Got my Leica!

[Steve Mack]

I finally broke down and went and got my first Leica. It's a IIIc/f conversion, with a 50mm f/2 Summitar. No buyer's remorse, at all! I've wanted a Leica since, oh, the Cretaceous Period, and I got one! Yay! Now I'm off to annoy the neighbors.

With best regards to all.

Congrats.

Congrats is right. I've been lusting after one for a while, and really like the 35 mm rangefinder experience. Enjoy.

Congrats, my first leica was also a III (but a C)! Enjoy your new "toy"!

Congrats again! My first one was a IIIa, loved it, found a IIIf, loved it even more and I now have an M2. I don't know what I am doing with three Leica cameras, but I am having fun doing it.

Great camera/great lens. My first Leica combo exactly (except mine was not converted to a IIIf), and still perhaps my favorite for general-purpose pix. (I prefer the earlier Summar for its special look when shooting some things.)

It is almost an addiction. I could be retired if I didn't have this problem. I've wanted one since the early 1960's when a friend bought a new M3. I just never had enough money for one until now, and I have the M2. Can't wait til I have enough to buy a nice 35mm 'lux.
