Beginning December I got my first RF Leica, a black M6 with a 50 Cron. It's my first RF camera, the Agfa Isola I doesn't count this camera I used fortyfive years ago.
So up to date I have only experiences with SLRs/DSLRs but I want to 'know' RF issues...
My extensive streetphotography in the past was done with a NikonF with the Photomic and the visible lightmeter needle in this small window on top of the camera. Very convinient to check the settings for b/w film which is flexible enough in terms of light without looking through the viewfinder.
To capture the 'decisive moments' I had to be very fast but I was a young guy of appr. 22-25 years old so eye, brain and feet were flexible enough....
But now thirtyfive years later a M7 would be my first choice because it's only the photograph which counts. I know from guitars that the hook of any instrument and the input of look and feeling are very important in terms of 'partnership' to the user. There should be a special 'sympathy' to those dead things of course to achieve good results.
When I get the impression of mastering the RF handling a M7 or M8 MKII at the end of this year could be possible.
