But the fact is, your ego still made you type out a reply ya?
You may write on "points and reasonings" but you certainly do so in a way a schoolyard bully would. You call people names, you degrade their mental state and you just demean everything you think that is wrong. I don't really care what transpired in this current discussion with Szekiat or Wisp, it still doesn't warrant your shameful behavior. You seem to pick on a few whom you've deemed to be idiots and you just openly let them have it with your trash talk and rough attitude.
I can't believe someone like you who holds a doctorate can act like such a spoilt brat just to get a point across. There are many ways to skin a cat and you certainly chose the most undesirable method.
Really... do us all a favor and grow up.
And again, feel free to have the last word. I'm sure you will.
with no sarcasm meant whatsoever, i once again sincerely offer my apologies to all reader for sending this thread completely of course and probably scaring the TS away.
Either hows, i will not respond to the provocations above. Lets just say we are all entitled to our own opinions. Your thought process is different from mine. To say i am illogical would seem to be jumping the gun since even a mad person sees logic in his action, just because the rest of the world does not see it does not make it illogical, but hard to comprehend. A lot of open statements and blind conclusions have been made in the past few weeks (on my part) and i hope to be able to justify them in a fresh thread in the next week or so when work permits me time. Don't get me wrong student, i had a lot of respect for you till you started the name calling. Is it really necessary?

Having read this and a good number of threads over time,
I have seen many that reply to a question with little or no knowledge on the subject.
To do this is just asking for trouble.
It seems that some dont realise that there are a number of professional/ well heeled/ well studied, photographers in CS.
These people assume that a thread started by someone asking a question,
will only be read by amateurs and as such, non qualified answers will make them look good.
How totally dumb !!!
There are a number of professional in my words members that reply to many questions in the forums and actually try to give some assistance.
These people dont state they are professional and would shun from the idea of being called professionals. Yet they offer assistance.
Now when some idiot comes in with words and explanations that they know nothing about in the real world, gets slammed; what does this idiot expect !!!
Wake up people !
This is not a club where we all go .. my d**k is bigger than yours !
This is where we meet to discuss and share photography.
For those that do not have a degree/ life-long/ professional existence in photography, remember that HERE you can learn from people that do.

Trying to get back on topic...
I'm thinking about getting started in RFs as well. There are the obvious Yashica Electro 35, Olympus XA...Canon G3 QL17, Konica Auto S2 etc. But I ran into a page on rather small RFs such as the Petri 7s and the Petri Color 35. Anyone had any experience with these or heard anything about them?
They don't have any autoexposure functions, so they'll be a bit harder to work. But the allure of this camera is definitely there...not often heard of, seems to be well constructed and is selling for next to nothing on Ebay.

Perhaps I'm missing something but the Petri 7s seems to better the Color 35 in terms of features...shutter speed range, for example, although the difference is not great.
If they're truly worth as much as you say then they're definitely worth watching! Just hope the will function as a workhorse as well and not just a cute display item.
pablo, your post seems rather ambiguous. your point is?teckyy said:
If you claim that most of the posters to this thread have no working experience photographically, i think u will be greatly mistaken. A few have probably done solo exhibits and have an extensive clientele to prove their worth. As you mention, these ppl prefer not to flaunt it too openly.
to the original poster:
my recommendation would be a Voigtlander R2A or R3A to step into the RF world, or the new Zeiss Ikon if u have a little more cash to spare. All of these are relatively modern bodies with aperture priority metering for you to ease into the world of manual-everything, and u can still choose to use manual metering if you so desire.
Alternatively, you can get a Leica M and never look back
The best camera is the one you always have with u.
