You shouldn't: I guess there are a lot of non-pro, non-collector who use Leica and this list. "Look" at me, here I am, a systems engineer, specialized in Medical Informatics, using this list and a Leica M3DS, just like yours!!! [snip] > >At 30 am I the youngest person on this list? My M3 is certainly older than >I am. Welcome to the club: turning 31 next 23rd... ;-). In fact my M3 was once my father-in-law's M3 but he now prefers his Yashica T4 (lovely thing, BTW, my wife also has one and I sometimes "borrow" it, when I want to travel real, real, real light: a suit and a briefcase. Both with slides or B&W, the T4 is very tolerable, although not a Leica... But I digress.). I now thank my father-in-law, auto-focus AND Yashica very much ;-). And my M3 is circa 57, definitely older than I am and in better shape too: my father-in-law is not much of a film burner. Even with the T4 (P&S, you know, less effort to take a picture...) he managed to take pictures of TWO (yes, TWO, 2!!) Christmas in the same roll of film!!! So I guess he should have put some, let's see, 3 to 4 rolls of film through his/my M3. Hard work for a Leica, huh? ;-) >Thanks for your time.
