Advertisement Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Hi Doc Henry, Take a look here My new companion..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pauledell Posted September 8, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 8, 2014 Henry, A great choice for your companion. I think film is a good selection too. Once the film is developed and properly scanned, exceptional pictures can be made. I still like my M6 classic as well as my digital cameras and better than the Nikon D2sx.

Paul Paul thank you for your comment Would have to you to take your M6, try a film like Kodak Portra or if you love Fuji , and you compare ! not need to have millions of pixels for normal use, but what faithful is the color !

gberger Posted September 12, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 12, 2014 Henry I envy you, as you can still use an M7. With macular degeneration (wet), I had to give up on my M7 and go to a Zeiss ZI for the viewfinder and capability to compose. I still use my Leica lenses. My dearly departed wife had her own M7, so we had two between us. I started with an Argus in the early 40s, then picked up a IIIc in Germany in early '46, upgraded to the M4, then to the M6 and finally to the M7. I started using Kodachrome with the Argus and kept with transparencies through the M7. Film Forever! And my post-processing consists of my light table, a 6x Schneider ASPH loupe and the wastebasket. Unfortunately, neither my children nor my grandchildren are interested in film. With them, it's digital point-and-shoot or the iPhone. Times really have changed. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi George, Sorry for this bad news, handicapping for you ! But M7 remains in the family and that's the essential point. I know she will take great pictures I just posted two comments (post 129 and 136) on this thread about the M7 and M8 http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m8-forum/333606-m8-v-m7-b-w-images-7.html Best regards Henry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted September 16, 2014 It is possible that I will buy the M-A instead of MP which costs 3850 E , less than the MP (around 4000 E) http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-news/2014/09/leica-m-a/?utm_source=20140915en&utm_medium=E-Mail I have already a measuring cell Lunasix Gossen !

gsgary Posted September 26, 2014 Share #14 Posted September 26, 2014 I think I may be a bit younger than you I hope to be here 30 + years and I wonder if the M7 will still be repairable if it has problems with electronics that is my only reason 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share #16 Posted September 30, 2014 After the poppies that I take every year, and to test the fidelity of colors and no "synthetic" pictures of digital cameras,I like to test color of vegetables and fruits ! I opened this thread below with the vegetables picture http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/other/286747-i-like-film-open-thread.html This photo below was taken last weekend, there are exactly two days, with a fabulous 90 MacroElmar lens, light and very practical. I left my Apo Summicron 90 Asph at home because too heavy ! So overall, a good camera like the M7 + a good lens and a good film , per example here Kodak Portra 160, we get this picture (without monopod) Uncropped and uncorrected (no need) Welcome, dear visitor!

chrism Posted September 30, 2014 Share #20 Posted September 30, 2014 I go back and forth between the M7 and the MP. I prefer the AE of the M7, especially since I almost always want to set the aperture and then vary the shutter speed to get the right exposure, and the MP's shutter dial isn't very ergonomic to move easily with a fingertip. On the other hand I like the rewind of the MP, which feels more sturdy, and the fact it's not so dependent on batteries. On balance, if I were to do it again I would probably have two M7s rather than one of each. Chris 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
