I feel another competition coming on. After the growing success of The One Challenge, I think it is about time we had another "Challenge" to get those creative juices flowing. I have been inspired in this by the surprising number of people here using and enjoying LTM ("Barnack") Leicas.

Here's the idea, in outline:

A seven-day period to shoot a roll of film (preferably black & white) using an LTM Leica. Any lens is permissable - this means that you can shoot using any screwmount lens (Leica, Voigtlander, Canon, etc.) from the past 70-odd years.

Select your best shot and post it on a single thread set up for the purpose by a given date. Votes are collected "in the usual way" (3 points for top, 2 points for second, 1 point for third choice)

The theme is set by (in the first instance) me. Subsequent themes are selected by the previous winner. I have a first theme in mind, but I shall keep it to myself until I have gauged the level of interest for this.

Suggest we run it once a season, just for the fun of it, so the first one would kick-off on the 21st of March (Spring).

I think it would be good if themes chosen played to the strengths of the screwmount Leicas - small size, discretion, speed of use, short focal lengths, etc.

Who's up for it? Sign up below.

Regards,

Bill
