I once had Colm Feore approach me and ask me about my leica when i was in a camera shop looking for film. He is a collector of M series leicas but said that if i ever wanted to sell my IIIa he would be the man to buy! It was for sure an interesting talk. He said he really loved Reala in his leicas, but apart from that i was still rather new and couldn't pick his brain more! There's my celebrity camera story. I didn't even know who he was. I was in the camera shop and everyone stopped dead. The person who i was buying the film off of asked me if i knew who he was. I don't get starstruck that often really.
It was a cool experience. I would have loved to go and see his collection now for sure
