Being a college student, it was very hard for me to jump in. But i did save up enough for one. I took it to school to test it out, my friends drool over it. But it is an amazing camera.

But the shutter is not as quiet as i thought it would be. Of course it is alot quieter compared to my canon dslr. but my friends were claiming its absolutely silent, but its more of a click then silence.

But either way, my first 24 shots will be developed tomorrow.

 

Anyone can recommend me any consumer scanner for scanning the negatives?

congrats on the purchase! i love my m6 ttl!

 

i have a minolta film scanner; it does well. i'm not sure if they're available any longer!

 

cheers to 24 first great frames with the leica!

Welcome to the forum. Even if you have to get stuff done on a cheep as chips flatbed scanner you will still start getting the hang of stuff and good enough for web posting.

Looks forward to seeing what you do with the six.

Ahh, the only bad news with scanning is you really do have to take care of the negs. But you got hte RAW File forever:D.

Congrats Chester. The shutter at sub 1/60th sec will be the determining factor compared to SLR or DSLR. My Nikon F3HP don't have a mirror slap. "It has a Magnum Recoil" compared to the M. =)

Try it 1/30th and 1/15 sec hand held and wide open utilizing available light. Then you'll realize what you paid for.

 

Enjoy your new toy and welcome aboard!

Congratulations!

 

Here's my scan workflow...

 

- batchscan my rolls with the V750 PRO in a resolution good enough to judge the photo's.

- I don't worry too much about colour correction.

- Negatives I really like and want to print for customers, I just have scanned by a pro lab.

 

the difference between the V750 PRO and the Nikon scanners is, I think, not as interesting as the difference between Epson/Nikon and professional Imacon/Heidelberg scanners.

 

The money and time I save batch scanning my rolls of film on the V750 PRO, is well spent on the pro-lab scans when I really need the quality.

Hi and congratulations;

 

I use a Nicon Coolscan V with good results.

 

I batchscan my rolls with a simple resolution and judges the photos.

Dose that are good I scan in raw for further “development”. The Coolscan gives files that are good enough for almost any purpose. As I keep my film in my archive, I can always go back for an other scan … when the file format has changed or the PC has died..

 

As many people now have gone digital, I’m sure you can get a second handed scanner for a good prise on the net. On ebay there are several possibilities today.

 

I recommend you to search the forum for scanning advises. Fore several years there has been written hundreds of good articles about scanning in this forum.

 

There are also some good internet sites with good articles about scanning, cant remember the names now, but I’m sure some of the other members can give you those sites.

 

Regards
