Actually, this is my first venture into the rangefinder realm. There's just something about the look of a Leica photograph that intrigues me. While some claim you can get that "look" with photoshop or similar post processing software, the real mojo happens in the lens and camera. The move to the M8 was soley based on price. I definitely was not going to spend upwards of $10K to start with an M9 and lens, so I chose to go used. I found a good price at KEH in their used camera department along with a 35mm Summicron lens which seemed to be a solid recommendation from most Leica users.
The main reason I went to Leica was to get that Leica look to my photographs. Now, if I could just hone my composition and lighting skills...

I've only bought one guitar, well actually traded for it, for collector value, though i doubt whether it will be worth all that much in the future. i'm not sure BBE-era G&L's will either, although i am hoping my Leo-era G&L's go back up in value at least to some extent. Strats are a dime a dozen and this 1999 is just a regular American Standard. The only difference is this is a 20th Century American made Stratocaster that Fender produced to commemorate the end of the 20th Century. They came with a Certificate of Authenticity guaranteeing that they were the last 100 to leave the factory in 1999, hand signed by William Schultz the CEO of Fender. These strats also have a special gold insignia on the headstock and a engraved neck plate. all 100 were 3 color sunburst with rosewood fretboard. the one i have is still in the box it shipped in and was only out once to take pics. maybe one day i'll take it to the Pawn Stars and see how much they'll give for it given the back story. lol. great week.
here's one of my favorite shots i took with the old F2 back when I was working on the Equalizer tv show as a location manager. shot at magic hour with the moon up the spike.
