I purchased a new Leica MP some time ago, and I've been seeing bright stripes on my scans frequently ever since. I assumed it was the scanner - dust on the glass or the sensor or something similar. Recently my wife started scanning her negatives however, and she has a Leica MP too, albeit a n older one. She did not get the same bright stripes in the scans as I do. Our development process is the same. The same gear is used. A lot of our film are even developed together at the same time in the same tank, and for our color films the same lab has developed them. It happens with all the film I've tried: TX400, HP5+, Silvermax 100, Acros 100, Portra 400, Superia 200, Fuji Pro 400h, etc. So I recently started to inspect my negatives, and to my surprise there is a dark stripe on them, that matches what I'm seeing in the scans. I've checked the back plate of the camera, and it's clean without any sharp edges as far as I can see or feel. I've attached a few images that clearly shows the stripes on the negatives and how the scans looks. Does anyone have any idea what this could be caused by? Negative: Scans:

I took this on a trip to Beijing in 1998 using my M6, and I have just scanned it to give it a new life. I am sorry but I have no details stored with the original, but can say that it was taken on Fuji RDP 100iso film. I hope you like it! Gerry

After owning the MP for about a year I decided to write some of my experiences with this camera, and with film cameras and the film process as a whole. Check it out: http://indergaard.net/2016/02/26/leica-mp-review/

This was just a lucky capture whilst planning to photograph just the building - sometimes luck is on your side. Taken in Paris in 2002 using an M6 with 50mm Summicron f2 and T400CN film.

I am looking for recommendations on on good photo labs in Germany. I need C-41 development and scan, mostly 35mm but also medium format. I don't need some exclusive high end labs, but also don't want to send my film to the corner drugstore photo lab. Any recommendations please. Thank you!

It just shows how slowly I have been working because of what has happened, but this was on the latest roll of film back from the lab. Taken using my M7 and Fuji neopan 400CN film. Out of the box maybe for me, but I hope you like it: Gerry

I don't post here much but post frequently over on RFF so am just throwing this out there to hear your opinions and/or experience. I have been taking photos since 1966 and spent a couple years as a professional photographer back in the mid-1970's. I have owned Leica's starting with a CL from 1975 and owned every film M up to the MP. Additionally, I had an M9 for a couple years but sold it last year and returned to film. I enjoy Leica's but also realize there are many other great cameras to be enjoyed and used. So, with my background out of the way I am curious as to what people here enjoy traveling with. I will be leaving Texas in a few days to hike the C to C trail across Northern England. For those not familiar, it is an 192 mile journey from one coast to another and will take me 15 days. I have decided to carry a Leica M5 (best meter Leica ever put into a camera) with 35/90 lenses and a Fuji X70 (28mm fixed lens and big sensor). For the hike, it may only be the X70 due to size but the M5 will be great fun in York. Now, I have hiked the West Highland Way in Scotland and the Portuguese route of the Camino de Santiago in Spain three years ago (90 and 70 miles respectively). I carried the M9 on that trip but sold it when I realized I actually preferred film. So, what do you think?

Greetings - I treated myself to a M-A, and I'd like your help deciding upon lenses for my kit. I intend to only shoot film, and initially to shoot only Tri-X, but I expect to move into color film as well. My intent is to optimize the lenses for film work, but also with the potential to work well with digital sensors if the need/desire arises. I'm coming from a background of 28/50 for 95% of my photographs. I bought the Summarit 35mm F/2.4 (latest version) as my "base" lens for the M-A to force me out of my comfort zone. It also straddles both the 28 & 50 perspective, a compromise on my standard way of viewing the world, and I welcome the challenge. Frankly, I've never "got" street photography - "Why am I taking pictures of people I don't know, will never meet again, and have no connection to?" - but after studying the works of many "street" photographers who do "get it", the 35mm deeper depth of field perspective versus the thin in-focus layer combined with lots of bokeh from my 50mm perspective seems intriguing. So the question is: "Now What?" Many suggest just shoot with the 35mm lens for a year and see what I learn. Others suggest adding more Summarit lenses now - 50/75, and maintain the 46mm diameter to make filter selection easier across the entire lens kit. Some in this camp also note that the slower f/2.4 lens will actually mate very well with digital bodies (if I go in that direction), and may draw images more consistent with great film lens designs of the past - enhancing the fun of shooting film with the M-A. They argue that the Summarit line may be the "best" solution for my lens kit since it works for all of my anticipated shooting. Still others note that Leica makes great lenses, but they are really great "wide open" and for that you need the Summilux lenses. So instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, and potentially wasting a lot of energy and money, I'd like your thoughts on how to build the lens kit, primarily designed for the M-A and film, but flexible enough to accommodate digital bodies. Your thoughts are welcome, and my thanks in advance for your comments.

A short set of photographs of the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (the MACBA, excellently described in this thread). We are lucky to live in Barcelona, which makes it easier to catch the best light for these kinds of photographs. All shots were made using the M7 and a 21mm lens with stacked filters. This was Delta 100 processed in ID-11. I have a difficult time shooting with the 21mm on the M7, as getting accurate framing with the external viewfinder is problematic. For some of these, I used the rangefinder to get the alignment as accurate as possible, but they still needed some slight rotation during scanning.

Hallo allerseits, vielleicht ist die Frage weit hergeholt, aber wenn ich Sie nicht stelle, kann ich auch keine Antwort bekommen. Nach meiner letzten Fototour mit meiner M4-P stellte ich mir folgende Frage: Gibt es Objektiv-Film Kombinationen, die Ihr/wir bevorzugen bzw. die besser oder schlechter funtionieren? Beim Durchstöbern des Analog-Forums habe ich nichts adäquates gefunden. Sicherlich ist es subjektiv, aber bei den vielen möglichkeiten an Objektiven bei gleicher Brennweite in der Historie von Leica, wäre es interessant zu erfahren, wer mit der einen oder anderen Objektiv-Film Kombination welche Erfahrungen gemacht hat. Es wäre toll, wenn ihr mit Bildbeweis antworten könntet um eure Argumentation pro/con eurer Objektiv-Film Kombinationen bildlich zu untermauern. Freue mich auf eure Inspirationen. Und nun allzeit gut Licht und Korn! Gruß Michael
