Joined the Red Dot club

I finally joined the Red dot club to stay. Today, I got me a nice Leica Mini for all of... wait for it... $5. I'm sure GSGary will approve.

I actually like it so far. Super compact, but not so small it feels cheap. EXCELLENT viewfinder, if a tiny bit small. For what it is, it's actually not bad at all, but I can't wait to see what comes out of the film I shot through it.

It was a mistake. Gary didn't approve.

See? Everyone has to start somewhere.

Personally, I'm an SLR guy. I've shot with a rangefinder before, and I'm not big on them, but I would have an old Leica IIIF for fun. I'm not opposed to a Leica SLR, though. Hell, I'm not opposed to a Leica S2 if someone gave me one.
