ehegwer Posted July 6, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 6, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) And I'm converted. Previously, the last 5 years I've been a pro wedding shooter using Nikon. Then I picked up an F5, and re-discovered film. I've always wondered what all the Leica Hype was about, and now I know. Slow down, way way down, and re-discover the moments. Be aware again. Tomorrow I'll post some scans from last week's wedding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicanut2 Posted July 6, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 6, 2009 Congrats, You will love it and think about it no box full of chargers and cables. I should talk got a M8.2 and D-Lux4. But I still use my MP and my R8 I will be out and about with my MP wensday. Enjoy Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enboe Posted July 6, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 6, 2009 I felt like quoting Walt when I read your post. Congratulations on your new Leica set. I hope it brings you as many years of enjoyment as mine have. In addition to slowing down, I also find I am engaging my subjects more due to the close proximity. It's a totally different mindset, and I get quite a kick out of it. Another benefit is the confidence you will gain in the photographic process. You will know exactly what you're focused on, and have total control over the exposure too. No spray and pray as with a high frame rate DSLR or similar camera. I see from your profile you're in Texas. If it's Dallas, send me a private message and I'll refer you to a favorite restaurant. It's another opportunity to slow down and enjoy the experience.

kenneth Posted July 7, 2009 Share #6 Posted July 7, 2009 Well done. You will inevitably find M film cameras a little slower to use than the modern Nikon SLR's but if that is not a criteria then am sure you will appreciate being back in control of the process. Certainly later Nikon cameras seemed to move these decisions away from the photographer. I always used manual Nikon cameras, my last one was an FM2n so the switch to Leica, in my case M6 was very straight forward and the best move I have ever made Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
