I'm the holdout! I got an awesome deal on an M4 body, and I had a little
extra money this month thanks to a couple of good sales from my website, so
I took the plunge. I had my Bessa R2, which got me interested in rangefinder
work, but I had trouble focusing fast lenses up close due to the short RF
baselength. Our friend Dr. T is the new owner of my Bessa, which I sold to
help pay for the Leica. I did some 'street photography' at the Johnny
Appleseed Festival here in Ft. Wayne over the weekend. The festival is held
every year in September to honor John Chapman, the legendary pioneer who
planted apples across the midwest in the early 19th century. He died in Fort
Wayne and is buried here. The land surrounding his grave is now a city park,
and the festival is held there.
