Just in case you forgot - you are not supposed to pull the film out of the cassette to look at the results after you have exposed it. It is supposed to be processed first...

Best,

Hi Jan, sorry to ask another question. The number on this camera is that of a 1F so how does that relate to cameras actually made as 11Fs?

I know there are lots of Leica books out there, is there one that you can recommend to start off with. Yes I will remember about the film, my biggest problem might be getting it in there in the first place!

I will certainly try the lens on the M8.
