Many of us are picture people: we take pictures, we post them to web sites, we critique them, we discuss them. Others of us are gear freaks. We worry about whether version one of the Elmalux had six screws or seven, and whether they were Whitworth Thread or Colen Standard, and sweat about the serial numbers of the 2/174 Ted Grant Commemorative Nevercron. Some of us are collectors, despite the name of our List. We worry over whether there were really six versions or eight of a given gizmo, and worry more over we have all six or eight or whatever. Some of us are a mixture of the above. Some of us are just individuals, and do our own thing and be happy for it. This is a big and wide and expansive and, truly, inclusive, group. We are big enough, and large enough, to allow for all strains and types of those interested in the breed. I would hope that we can keep it this way. Me? For me, photography is intensely private and I rarely share my pictures with anyone else. I am interested in the gear, and am a student of the camera and its off-shoots. And, bluntly, a Leica RF is my camera of choice and is what I know and use as a 35mm tool. But I don't hammer nails with mine!
