redbaron Posted October 9, 2009 Share #21 Posted October 9, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Karen, have a look at Cartier-Bresson's portrait work. A little different to the work you describe, but I think it will highlight just how suitable the Ms are for portraits. Yes, he could have created those photos with a box brownie and probably a DSLR, if they had been around. But, for whatever reasons, he chose Ms. For informal portraits I don't think there is a camera system that comes close to matching Leica Ms. They are small, light weight, have no shutter lag, no viewfinder blackout and you can usually see outside the frame.

timpppa Posted October 10, 2009 Share #23 Posted October 10, 2009 I just were in Switzerland and bought 1962 Elmar 135/f4 lens. The lens is in very good shape and the price wasn't that bad either. Here is the first shot with it. Shot with M6-ttl, 135mm Elmar f4, I don't remember the aperture but somewhere near 5.6... I used Rollei Retro 100 film.
