Edward you develop yourself b&w ?

However the M7 does not give beautiful colour, in fact it doesn't give any colour. It's jut a very nice box to mount a lens and hold film that give beautiful colour ;-) Edited April 1, 2017 by MarkP 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share #544 Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Mark , one box may be, but I do not agree...because the support is not the same more sensitive . Details and color in the shadow as I said above more visible vs digit. especially when backlit (contre-jour) photo I'll post crop for you for proof !

MarkP Posted April 1, 2017 Share #545 Posted April 1, 2017 Henry you miss my point. That is an effect of film NOT the M7! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted April 1, 2017 Share #546 Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Mark , one box may be, but I do not agree Henry you miss my point. That is an effect of film NOT the M7! I think we've had a similar discussion before and although I agree with Mark that the M7 is essentially a light tight box which should have no bearing on the colour of the photographs taken, it is possible that, for a particular user, the M7 meter may influence the way they expose a scene. For somebody that otherwise uses an incident meter or maybe a Nikon with matrix metering, using the internal meter of an M7 may lead the same photographer to over or underexpose the scene compared with what they might have done with a different camera or meter. That difference in exposure may have a modest influence on the colour obtained from the film and this might be what Henry is getting at? Of course, that would essentially be a difference in colour as a function of metering and nothing really to do with the M7 per se.

edwardkaraa Posted April 1, 2017 Share #547 Posted April 1, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you for your kind words Henry. I am sending my film to a small lab basically run by just one person who treats every film as if it was his own. I started today shooting color so let's wait and see what it gives. As on the color subject, I believe the lenses and film are responsible for it, while as wattsy said, the camera may influence exposure and the way one takes pictures. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Verrips Posted April 7, 2017 Share #550 Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) My M7's. One black chrome, one silver chrome and on black chrome Dutch Flag Edition. I love the M7 BP a la carte with MP style lever, but 4 M7's is a little bit crazy... Edited April 7, 2017 by Paul Verrips 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share #551 Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Paul , Wow glad see you back .... with 3 M7 amazing All for you ? so you can put in example one roll of b&w Kodak TMax on one camera, one roll of Kodak Portra 400 on another camera .... and one roll of Kodak Ektar 100. What do you think ? Congrats Paul . A great treasure ! Best Henry I have two cameras M7 and MP with color in one and b&w in another Edited April 7, 2017 by Doc Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share #552 Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) MarK, I agree for the film but the camera and the lens take an important part toofor the photographer. My MP gives nicer picture than my Leica R4S ! Thanks to watch examples in "I like film thread" ! and don't forget the photographer : his manner of composing , framing his picture That's my impression Rg H Edited April 7, 2017 by Doc Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i only shoot B&W, but i could not choose between silver chrome and black chrome..... And i could not resist the Dutch flag edition (only 10 produced). I only use one at a time, so i change now and then between the different bodies. I wil soon post some B&W work from the past period. The MP in BP is also one of my favorites. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pico Posted April 7, 2017 Share #558 Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) The M7 is the penultimate Leica film camera. Regardless I have couple wishes. Don't we all? Edited April 7, 2017 by pico 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Verrips Posted April 8, 2017 Share #559 Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Pico, What are your wishes? Mine are a rewindknob MP style + like the MP all shutterspeeds mechanical, so no battery is needed in case of...... Sunny sixteen will do the exposure. * i know this is an a la carte option, maybe i will do that once together with a rewind lever MP style, 0.58 VF and black paint. About the 0.58; i never experienced this in real life, so first want to look through this 0.58 VF if it's suits my expectations.

Guest Posted April 8, 2017 Share #560 Posted April 8, 2017 When you have the shutter set on AUTO and then turn on the camera, there is a 2 second delay before you can fire the shutter. That is a huge design flaw and should be removed. (the reason for this is the film ISO speed is shown in the viewfinder during the 2 second start up time) Get rid of the DX system and the 2 second start up delay. Add in B (bulb) as a third mechanical shutter speed and it'd be a well-polished camera. Oh and get rid of the red dot in the front, no one wants it anyway...
