Sure thing. I'm "Double Negative" over on RFF.

 

 

Michael, I certainly know you -- always enjoy your posts - any clues who I am?

Does a Leica III f count in this discussion? I'm old school, that's why I use Fountain Pens and my daily driver is a 1971 VW Bug. Jim

I use an M3 and M2 as well as an SL2 MOT (SLR of course)

RFF is a really useful resource for me and was invaluable when I was starting out with rangefinders, but I never posted there. I shoot with an M6, which I bought last year. I love it and have all but abandoned my film SLRs (they are sad and dusty).

I've never heard of RFF until stumbling across this thread... :headsmack: this is going to turn into what happened when I stumbled across FPN.... I've got 5 FPs (4 Pilot Steels - MYU701, Matte Black, Volex, Elite) & a Sailor Mini in under a month...

 

Although the price of "real" rangefinders (Leica...) should be enough to stop me from going nuts... :rolleyes:

Lurking mode only, at the moment.

 

No Leicas, but here are my RF cameras:

Sure thing!

Due to a typo the guys at RFF know me as Jmiothy.

I'm also on the Leica Forum.

Hmm, Don't know POTN or LUF and I only occasionally lurk on DPR. I'm also on photo.net of course, but rarely read it (seem not to be alone in that regard).

 

In order of visitation (all with username deirdre, there's an advantage to having a relatively unusual female name in a male-dominated hobby):

seriouscompacts.com (I'm a moderator)

rangefinderforum.com

mu-43.com

l-camera-forum.com

photo.net

fredmiranda.com (for classified surfing)

getdpi.com (for classified surfing)

 

Bought a used Shootsac with a red-and-black cover off one of the latter two recently. Very nice for rangefinder gear plus has that girlie "change the color with your mood" thing going for it.

Yep! Leica MP and M6 user here. I've been on the Leica Forum (l-camera fourm) and RFF for several years, although I don't post at RFF as frequently. I am MPJMP on each.

 

In fact, it was a post about fountain pens in the Barnack's Bar area of the Leica Forum that sparked my interest in this hobby back in 2004.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
