fstopperdown Offline Upload & Sell: Off
|
Chose to sell off all of my Leica collection (film bodies and pre-asph Lux's) to pay off a deductible on a medical issue last year, so I'm starting over in the gear department.
So the question is... Buy a respectable Nikon outfit or slowly rebuild the Leica collection and rent gear for special occasions? I'm leaning Leica...
It got me thinking... how many people have rented cameras and lens equipment in the past?
I have an October wedding for friends. The juices are starting to flow but it's unlikely I will pursue weddings again except maybe an occasional CL bride for kicks. Been there and done that...
I figured for a one off wedding, I could check the box on that bucket list Leica wedding as a gift to my friends and move on. If I get the urge to shoot weddings again, then I'll cross that bridge later.
IS the advertised equipment available? Reliable?
An ASPH Summilux or a Summicron with an M- film body is obtainable, but a full bag blown Leica outfit of M9's, Summilux ASPH's... are all the stuff of dreams.
Any advice appreciated.
