The rangefinder rage over the past 6 years has been fun and exciting. When I
first got back into film photography in about 2000, the renewed interest in
rangefinder cameras came at just the time I had a renewed interest in B&W
photography. There were many, many posts on the LUG, LEG, Rflist, and CVUG
lists. But now that digital has caught on and is here to stay, I have more
and more trouble finding film-related threads on the lists. Indeed, the
posts on the CVUG and Rflist are few and far between these days. I'm
wondering if the LUG should bifurcate into a LUG and a dLUG. I guess not.
The people on the LUG like one another too much to build a wall separating
formats.

I guess this all really hit me when I tried to buy a Pentax 35mm SLR. I had
to get one second-hand at KEH.
