Stealth3kpl Posted November 9, 2012 Share #2 Posted November 9, 2012 It's nice to see someone using an M9 as a backup to their film cameras. This is how it should be. Let a lab take the strain for developing and scanning and sit back to enjoy the results. Use a digital if you have to for low light. It's a shame the pricing is all back to front though, the film cameras being of more value Pete M2 and proud! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
budrichard Posted November 9, 2012 Share #3 Posted November 9, 2012 I would suggest that you have two more cameras than required.-Dick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giordano Posted November 9, 2012 Share #4 Posted November 9, 2012 Surely that depends on how many Nick expects to be destroyed by enemy action. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith (M) Posted November 9, 2012 Share #6 Posted November 9, 2012 Slightly puzzled - why HP5 and Tri-X? Personal preference when venturing forth with two film bodies is for Acros 100 and Tri-X or HP5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messsucherkamera Posted November 9, 2012 Share #8 Posted November 9, 2012 Not enough film! That was my first thought on viewing the image. I too am curious about the reasoning behind taking both Tri-X and HP5+ as they are very similar emulsions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

erl Posted November 10, 2012 Share #12 Posted November 10, 2012 Nick, I see you have 'swapped' the case on one of them! Shortly I will send you a PM to my DropBox which will have some pics of interest to you. I was going to post them on the forum but thought it would be better to let you make that decision.

Nick De Marco Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share #14 Posted November 11, 2012 Thanks for the responses I don't think it's too many cameras. I plan to mainly use 2: the M3 mostly with a 50, and the IIIf mostly with a 35. The M9, as I say, is really back up, of for very low light. I expect 8 films will be more than enough for me in a quite short trip. I have been there photgraphing already, and it is Singapore not Jakata or someehere. As to why HP5 and Tri-X, that's a fair point. I actually decided, as a general rule, and to help distinguish my films, to use Ilford FP4 or HP5 in my screw cameras as a staple, and T-Max 100 or 400 in the Ms. But I have a lot of Tri-X and last time I'm in Singapore I used an MP and Tri-x. So realy it is to use u some Tri-X and to distinguish shots from the M3 and those from the IIIf. By the way anyone know any good second hand Leica sture in Singapore?

Nick De Marco Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share #15 Posted November 14, 2012 My latest blog has some tests of some LTM lenses and one of John's photos, that he discusses above, of me loading the mint IIIf.
