I started photography in 1985 with an Olympus OM10s, then an Olympus OM2s & Om1n. The years since then consisted of more Pro Nikons than my wife will ever know about, , followed by many Leica M rangefinders. In 2018 I bought a new digital Olympus Pen F. Still love the rangefinder style. Actually use the Pen F semi professionally though not for sports. Now retired & keeping it fun.

Welcome, Ron!

Do you still have those Leicas? I'd like to get one someday.

The Leicas were all film cameras. (2)M6, (1)M6TTL & (1)M3 SS, that I pd $5 at a yard sale which included a Leica light meter & a leica leather fitted case. Physically it was in mint condition, but the winder was jammed. I sent it off to Don Chatterton, one of a select few Leica Guru's at the time, for a CLA & repair. Cost was approx $230. All the Leica cameras and lenses are now gone, but I did hold onto the fitter leather case, the light meter, which no longer works & a slip-on Leica aluminum lens cap. Never owmed any of the digital M bodies as they were simply beyond my price range.

Wow! $5. They all go for much more than that now.
