I bought all my camera gear between relationships. These days if I so much as think about a new camera I'm accused of gross negligence, incompetence, mental illness (or at lease some pathology like seasonal affective disorder). I'm always tempted to take the folders on vacation with me and leave the Leica home, but, haven't yet. I may be in Cairo next month, I think I'll toss the Billy in with the Leica and see what happens, their offspring would be, for me, the perfect camera.

I have been wanting to get a 6x9 folder from Jurgen Kreckel.
I also vaguely remember a LUGer (somewhere in Canada, close
to but not in Montreal, perhaps Ottawa) I like small, compact,
cameras for the respective film size. That's one of the things
I like about Leica, though they are damn heavy.
Meanwhile, I already way too many cameras. :-)
Perhaps next year, or in 5.
