You are so fucking autistic, er, artistic!

[naamanf]

Definitely closer to the former than the later.

[Voltron]

It's actually a really cool shot, Naaman.

Stephen gandy of camera quest quoted me $110. Camera cost me $350...it's a Voigtlander r3a. Above all else it smells of cigarette smoke which is my making my throat close up so it's going back anyways. But the guy said it was functionally perfect and from a no smoking home...and he was the original owner. Something doesn't add up.

 

I just sold an R3A on ebay to a dude in South Korea!!  Not you, I hope.  

 

My R3A was okay, but didn't come any where close to the user enjoyability and build quality of my Leica M4 body.

 

I suggest you get a refund and stump up for a nice user M2, M3 or M4.  You'll need some form of a light meter or a sixth sense for guessing your exposure settings, but it's worth it imho.

I am considering an M6 as it does not require me to use a light meter. While the price of admission is higher in leicas they do hold their value much better so I guess I should be able to get what I pay for the camera. Certainly not the case for Voigtlander.

Why the hell is the actual patch in the middle of the rangefinder so damn small? Any reason why they can't make it a bit larger? Would help a boatload in focusing.

You'll adapt!!

 

I use one of these on my M4 for exposure settings:

Nothing wrong with an M6 either.  There are a few options in the bodies regarding viewfinder magnification and ttl metering, so do your research.

 

Black is sexier than chrome imho.

I'd bet fucking your camera lowers its resale value

Just picked up a 35-70 f/2.8D on Craigslist. It is a birth year lens that I plan on having coitus with. f/22 of course.

[VPI]

f/22 huh, impressive.

 

Love the pic Naaman.

[naamanf]

It might be skinny but it sure is short! 

 

Thanks. You don't know how much my arm hurts from throwing apples across the field. 

[Jon L]

Friend of mine just picked up this.

My buddy shoots one. He actually flew to Germany to get it and saved money.

Found this little feller hanging out by the side of the garage.

[Voltron]

He must have been tired from eating all of your plants.

Don't even get me started. 

 

Another baby that I also found today on the back patio. 

 

[Augsburger]

Better on your patio than in your boot.

[n_maher]

I'm so glad that I live in a place that has the first picture and definitely does not have the second.

[Grand Enigma]

Agreed, I'm fine with my deer, bear, fox, and turkey, thanks.

[naamanf]

Just another furry friend. It's the scorpions and foot long centipedes I could do without.

[shellylh]

Remind me never to move out there.

[crappyjones123]

Some snaps with the iPhone. Ireland is beautiful.

Are those some kind of deadly spiders or giant Texas ticks on the cactus?
