Well having met you, I can say your not the biggest photographer I've ever met! :D

Woah! Is that allowed?

Physical contact amongst a virtual community?!? I thought the beauty of this was that you didnt know if I am a real person or a really grumpy algorithm... :)

DSLR - Doesn't Settle for Little Rigs???

Good god Ken could you imagine the pair of us being the voice of reason for each other?! We'd end the day forcibly sleeping in the park by our spouses, under the many boxes we had accumulated over the course of our frantic purchasing.

Ken would be eyeing up the latest shiny trinket and looking to his shoulders for the little angel and devil on each one in order to weigh up the pros and cons and instead would find me on one shoulder and AFB on the other - both grinning like idiots and passing him his credit card.

You must come....
You must come....

But get your credit limit increased first!

But DSLRs are heavy. Big and heavy. Very heavy, in fact, which is the reason why I doubt I will ever take that route if and when I do finally decide to go digital.
And tbh I wouldn't recommend that you should. I could see you with a nice little Fuji or Olympus though.

Possibly, but, I have to say that no, Leica, it is at the moment, and Leica it will remain.

Actually, I used to be a big fan of Pentax in the old days - they made beautiful, ergonomic, yet exquisitely small SLRs. The Pentax ME Super (which was my first SLR) was a stunning camera - it took great pictures, wasn't huge or heavy, and yet was a beautifully put together SLR.

My M6 is well built, sits and fits beautifully in my hand, and has stunning (but not massive) lenses. The 35 mm Summilux that seems to have become my lens of choice is not large by any means - it only looks large when it is compared to the beautifully tiny Summilux 50 mm (which I also have, as it became available at the sam time as the 35mm for an attractive price).

Mind you, someday, Leica will build a digital camera that I will succumb to the temptation of purchasing……..

Then we can finally see some of your work!

Someday. Yes, I must say that I would like to be able to contribute occasionally to the Photo of the Day, and the Weekly Competition threads, sometimes.

For some reason, cathedrals, castles, old houses, old cities and Round Towers seem to predominate………somehow, I never got the hang of landscapes in the cold, wet, dreary climate (and light) of the British Isles……

And yes, I occasionally shoot people. Actually, I love studying the effect of light on people, preferably natural light.
