[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 125612, member: 12214"] That is the camera that really got me into photography. I used my father's M3 for a while until I started getting my own equipment. First Pentax, then Nikon. Still Nikon, but digital now. :) The funny part is that it was the results I was getting from a Nikon F that made my father slowly start to switch from Leica to Nikon, especially when we both entered the same State Fair photo contest and I got an honorable mention, and his photo was not even hung. :) It's not the eqiupment, it's the person behind the camera, and at that time, in the darkroom. Never apologize for your equipment. Anyway, welcome. You will find a lot of very helpful, friendly people. [/QUOTE]
