I first learned of LUG from Jayanand Govindaraj, whom I've gotten to know through the monthly print exchanges we've both participated in over the past many years. Bought my first Leica last year....a very nice black R8 with a motordrive. I have since pulled together a nice little collection of R lenses and while I really would like to be using these on a digital R10....the R8 is a pretty sweet camera in it's own right! For the moment, when I need the instant gratification of a digital image, I'm using these wonderful R series lenses on a Panasonic G1 (which of course, is still no substitute for an R10). I've created a LUG Gallery album and uploaded a few images. I tend towards more industrial/pedestrian type images.....so I'm afraid there's not going to be anything truly breath taking there, but perhaps a few of you will enjoy seeing the "other" Alaska (ie...not much in the way of majestic scenery or wildlife in my photos). I look forward to participating in this forum. Purchasing my first Leica was a dream come true....it sure is nice that high quality used film cameras, even Leicas, are affordable now that digital is all the rage.
