Ciao,

 

some days ago I posted about my recent new baby, an M6 Black Paint. I use both digital and film now, two different worlds, but I like my Oly E-3 (with the great Leica Summilux) and my Olympus OM-2 too and now I am really in love with my new M6 with a black paint summicron 35mm F2 asph.

 

I want to introduce myself in the forum adding you some picture of my first rolls!

tks

ciao

Hi and welcome to the forum!

 

Congratulations on your images, they are beautiful. I also happen to be a forum and Leica newbie! And I also just got my first M6 (also madly in love with her, of course :rolleyes:).

 

Just curious, what kind of film and developper did you use to take those?

Very beautiful and I love the very B&W starkness which particularly suits the subject. I would love to see the prints as something is always lost when prints are digitised. Your next stage might be doing your own developing which would allow you a much broader pallet. I have standardised on Kodak Tri-X 400 and Ilford Pan-F 50 asa one speed in each body

tks for your ocmment.

I used kodak BW 400CN professional developed in c41 and scanned by the lab.

ciao

 

Really inspiring images - congratulations!

 

I too use BW 400CN, but I scan it myself. In my view these C41 BW films are the most scanner-friendly, but I'm sure some will disagree. All I can say is that with the minimum of effort and fuss, they have given ME the best scanned results of any BW film I've used to date.

Congratulations with the M6, welcome to the forum and thanks a lot for sharing those very inspiring images...!

 

You really should consider doing your own scanning as it adds so much to the magic process of shooting film with this beautiful camera

 

I have an M6 myself shooting mostly with T-Max 400 and Delta 100. I process with Rodinal and scan with a Nikon Coolscan V ED.

 

Looking forward to seeing more of your work :)
