Somehow I strayed from doing what I enjoy the most. I'm not sure what caused it. I was always a "rangefinder person" which I why I joined the LUG in the first place. I shot *Tri-X,* developed it in first *Accufine, *then, as I recall, *Edwal FG7*. As the kids grew, I found it easier to have color film processed and strayed from my roots. When I switched to digital I went as far as budget constraints would allow- I continued to buy digitals which I felt would further my rangefinder past, or give me versatility. Since the M8 would be too much of a budget buster, compromise has become my watchword. I had hopes for the Canon G7 based upon specs, but was extremely disappointed. Regrettably, the major manufacturers find rangefinder people not to be those at which they aim their R&D. We are, therefore, constrained to either go back to film or make do with what we have. I have dusted off my M6 and will do some shooting with it for the first time in years. The instant image which is my PAW 15- I shot with a G5- long ago supplemented by newer models, but really handles the closest to the rangefinder models my psyche needs. This is the kind of image I've always enjoyed doing. As the weather progresses in NY- I intend to try some more.
