Gearheads / the Classics / Re: What 35mm rangefinder/scale focus to keep

I am keeping my SRT 101 and all my manual minolta lenses. Aside from the other advantages, with the pancake lens, it fits in my drybox so I can easily take it kayaking.
Selling off all my Minolta Maxxum stuff on SLRs. I have some other Minolta manual SLR's but all have something wrong with them and I'll probably give them away for shipping on here after I sort through them.
The Canonet is the G-III. I am going to put a roll of film through it this week so I can guarantee it works in all respects before I sell it.
I am leaning toward keeping both the Vito's since they don't seem to bring much money and they also both fit in my drybox.
I also have some medium format stuff and I have already decided to keep the Isolette (bought from J. Kreckel) and sell the rest.

Gearheads / the Classics / What 35mm rangefinder/scale focus to keep

I am selling off most of my camera stuff and I've decided to keep one 35mm SLR and one 35mm rangefinder.
I have a Canonet QL-17, a Vito BL (scale focus), a Vita CLR and a Minolta Himatic 9. All of them work in all respects except for the meters on the Vito's don't work. Both the Vito's have Color Skopar lenses.
The Canonet is probably worth the most money, so on that basis, I think it has to go.
Which one of the other three should I keep?
Thanks,
Dan

Highlights of what is coming up, a working Rolliecord, some Voigtländer Vito's (need to test them), a working Canonet QL17, working Mamiya 645 with lens and prism, and a certo6 Voigtländer Perkeo II.

Did you take that from the observation deck on the Virginia side?
They run a race in the falls itself in early summer which is worth seeing.

a 1:1 viewfinder, which is pretty cool. It is handy for using as a cheap finder from a broken one.
The Vito BL I think is the best buy of the series, since the meters are always broken and they have the good viewfinder, they are cheap and a little better built than the C series.

Should be yummy unless they have already gotten tough.
We ate those as kids.
We also had a place when we were kids where we got polyporus fondorus every year. Same idea, but bigger and brown with white underneath.

Gearheads / Digital Dharma / if you want to go PC, don't get a dell

Go to a local guy and get him to put together one for you (or do it yourself if you are one of those people).
Spend a little extra money for good powersupply and case. Get a motherboard that has both pci and pci-e slots on it and a good processor upgrade path. The get the cheapest processor and just enough RAM and then whatever else you got on the DELL. Probably only $100 or so more than the dell, but a lot more expandable in the future.
For the screen, go in with an awesome internet deal and make him match it.
I think generic pc's are better, because the things dell does to make its price point make it harder to expand in the future.
