Subject: [Leica] LUG - Way over my budget...

Hi Folks, 
I am getting rather overwhelmed by the volume of this list and feel a little 
bit out of place here.  I will definitely not be able to afford an M8 (or 
DMR, or S2 for that matter) for the forseeable future and have a much more 
analog low-budget approach to shooting and owing Leica gear than (it seems) 
most here. 
Will can fully satisfy the digital needs (mosty for my work as a zoologist) 
with a lowly Canon Rebel Xsi, D50 or G10, but love the feel and timeless 
image quality of a IIIf, M3, M6 or SL2  and the smell of my B&W darkroom 
(with B22XL enlarger). 
 Is there a Leica list for analog only, classic Leica users, where the 
newest gear is not necessarily the best?
Thanks, Jan
