SunnySixteen Posted August 17, 2017 Share #38521 Posted August 17, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) From "Living Like This" Blackpool UK. Leica M2 with 50mm Elmar M lens wide open at F3.5. I saw this lady and she seemed to be almost a social outcast in the fun capital of the UK - it was a wet and dreary night and I felt a sadness for her as she was sat all alone in a world of her own - I raised my M2 and the busy road just passed her by. Film is Kodak TRI-X pushed 1 stop to ISO 800 in D76 Powerful images and social commentary, and very well shot! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share #38523 Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) There is much to see and enjoy in this thread lately. It is interesting to see the very different approaches and I keep coming back day after day. At the moment I am eagerly awaiting some films to be processed by the lab and have to develop a roll of Silvermax soon. If one of these rolls contains something that looks like a picture, I will likely spoil some pages in here As time goes by, the postman left something for me at the front door again - a sibling for my trusted M4-P. I was on the lookout for an M3 for my Cron 50 DR for some time now and just got this work horse. As it seems, all the times are working perfectly. On the downside there is some dust in the finder and the viewfinder shows the frames for 50 and 90 at the same time. The vulcanite needs a complete overhaul, but I can't decide which fancy color from Aki-Asahi will suit my new companion best. Black would be the classic choice, but I think that navy blue or green might look stunning in contrast to the chrome finish of the camera and the Cron. What do you think? Bild-1-41.jpg Sorry for going digital... What do you think? James I feel only a good side You're right to purchase film cameras instead new digital cam. For the M3 one of the best camera of Leica , if some dusts are seen in the finder, for me it's not important. I have also some dusts in my 2 SLR. You don't need battery ... all is mechanical For the vulcanite you can change yourself if you are an expert Aki Asahi is a good choice Your M4P looks also fine and the vulcanite is still good .... now just put one roll of film and go James ..... Congrats for your 2 new companions Best Henry Edited August 17, 2017 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stray cat Posted August 18, 2017 Share #38528 Posted August 18, 2017 Thanks, Phil. Perhaps with C41 film I would trust my cadence, but not with slide film and on a couple of hours sleep Fair enough Adam. Anyway I hope you continue to enjoy it over there, and look forward very much to seeing the film results as they come through. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stray cat Posted August 18, 2017 Share #38530 Posted August 18, 2017 Good pick-up Wayne. The 60mm macro is the one lens I really miss from when I had an R8 - but I don't miss the weight of the Leica SLR gear.

Oddly enough, last week, while I was shooting my "Dying Mall" shots, I was spotted by the security cameras and a "mall cop" rolled out to me, mounted on his trusty Segway, to advise me that photography was not allowed. I was a bit disappointed, but had to laugh as he rolled away. I could not help but wonder..........does the death of the mall also mean the demise of the Segway?

stray cat Posted August 18, 2017 Share #38532 Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Let's hope so Wayne. I couldn't help but think when I saw these people on the ridiculous things how ungainly they look... although probably not much worse than the "duck" tours that get around Boston. Not my idea of travel/tourism anyway. As for the guy in the fancy dress in the second picture - referring to me taking the picture, he told the folks standing there "Some folks just don't get it, do they?". Well in a way he's right, because I'm not sure what it was I was supposed to "get". But I can't help thinking he could probably ask the same question of himself...

I sense a certain irony in the fact that all of this happened by virtue of the internet. Best, Thanks to all, and in this instance, especially Henry and Ian. Wayne Wayne thank you for your kind comment Yes I start this thread in 2013 when I notice that after 8 years of digital M Leica, one of the best camera brand in the world, I am not satisfying in the general rendering of digital, so I begin to compare both analog and digit first in color and after in b&w. At each time, I feel it's something different and I ask myself why the color of film is so different in comparison with digital ... I begin in this way to ask one thing : must I continue in digital or abandon it ? Must I continue to purchase M240 Cmos obsolete in few years with Isos and pixels races ? ... versus M8-M9 CCD (I purchased several years ago) ... before taking decision to continue in digital , my Leica store gives me one M240 for tests for some days... Finaly I am not convinced by this new sensor CMOS for color and I prefer keeping my M8-M9 CCD cameras. Curiously and fortunateley , that's because Leica starts with digital by their first M8 in 2008-2009 , that I begin to use and love RF , before I mostly use my 2 SLR Leica. So thanks to Leica to let me know the wonderful world of the mechanical Range Finder M , accurate and redoubtable and specially in analog camera. James is right to purchase in 2017 M2 and M4-P They have great value than digital quickly obsolete in few years. One M3 still have value in comparison with in example M8 purchased with the price around 4000-5000 Euros and now sold less 1000 E with no guarantee for the future and with digital images aspect ie "hypernet", "no soul" when watching , "flat" comparing with our film images. Look at pictures of Paul in his "living like this" or Adam with his New York series of bridge pictures and other great contributors in this thread ... Since this time , I stay with RF M but not in digital (thank you) .... so here the story of my several years of photography . Leica has a plus , his experience in lens is unbeatable and that's a good point for this brand because have one camera it's a good thing but you must also need good lens too Thanks Wayne to make me reminding my story in discovering M system mechanical RF .

philipus Posted August 18, 2017 Share #38537 Posted August 18, 2017 Excellent timing here, Phil. The hand covering the face and the audience's rapt attention create a dynamic photo.
