GAS, or gear aquisition syndrome strikes again.
I normally shoot with large format, or dslr's, but I've slowly been getting into old rangefinders. First with a FED 2, then a 1956 Kiev. Getting the rangefinder bug, I bought a Kodak Medallist, and last week a Zeiss Super Ikonta 6x9. Now today, I just found the rangefinder I've been wanting for a long time, a Canon L1. It comes with a Canon 50mm f1.5 LTM Sonnar. I grabbed it up for $300.00 and I think I got a great deal. The camera and lens look like they are in great condition. It was the seller's grandpa's camera and has been well cared for. I'm sure it will need a CLA, but I think it will be worth it. The lens itself, if in good condition, normally sells for over $500.00! I might shoot with it for a while, then turn around and sell it for a healthy profit, maybe... Here's a couple of photos from ad. I'll take some better ones when it arrives.
