Sie Leica Lot

This bad ass motherfucker just arrived today.

I can't wait to try this out. See what all the fuss is about.

For now all I got is an old Summitar lens from the forties as far as I know. I'll just have to get some Summicron magic. I was thinking a Summicron 35mm. Then a bessa 50mm and 28mm.

For the last while I was holding back from buying one of these. Because. I need to save up for the next line of DSLR's (work)

I paid four hundred euro's for a rangefinder and another four hundred for a red dot that says Leica.

I sold some valuables to get this, but I stand by my choice.

I really need some cheering up this week.

Now I feel like a child again on Christmas morning.

Perhaps using less vulger words for description of a piece of equipment would entice me to be more interested. Gentlemen are of a scarcity today; another would be most welcome.

There's a tad bit of jealousy running through me at the moment¬

Nice, it looks like it's in great shape. I can't say enough about the bang for the buck of the Voigt lenses, btw. I have the 35/1.2 and the 50/1.5. The 50 is a great "alternative" to a Leitz 50 just because it's a nice lens for no money, but the 35/1.2, on the other hand, can actually compete with the 35/1.4 Summilux and hold its own. Wide open, it's every bit as sharp.
