Hey! Here I am
Can't say I've lurked here for long though, but I'm ready to dive in...
I live in Uppsala, Sweden and have been shooting with a Leica since the beginning of this year (2011). It all started in 2009 though, when I got a DSLR and my interest in photography grew. Soon I wanted to try film and got an old all-manual SLR. Loved it, but it wasn't quite perfect. I was intrigued by rangefinders and managed to get hold of a Canon P - I thought of it as a "poor man's Leica". That was in early autumn 2010. But after shooting a while with the P I sort of thought "well, I really like rangefinders, perhaps I should try a Leica after all"...
In february I found an M4 - nice user condition, nice price - through the classifieds of that big RF site... And was totally hooked. The M4 is the perfect camera for me! I also got started with wet printing and now the DSLR spends most of its time on a shelf while the M4 is around my neck.
I've been coming here for the articles on the main site for a while, and didn't really pay much attention to the forum until I found it through tapatalk on my iPhone.
