My first roll through a Leica M3

[Silva Lining]

Well after spending a bit on a rather beaten up, but fully functional old Leica M3 and a nice Elmar 50 /f:2.8, I ventured out with a roll Fuji Across 100. The results are to be seen below. This is my first Leica, and I have I have to admit that, until now I had always wondered what all the fuss was about.

Having been quite ill recently I made myself a promise that I would get one and try it, I could always sell it if I didn't like it....... well I won't be selling it!!

The shots below are not that special, but are taken at Hampton Court Palace and in Bushey Park, South West London. All were f8 or f11.

Nice shots! That first roll through a Leica is pretty special, isn't it? Happy shooting.

I disagree. I think they are special and very well done. I especially like the third image posted. The detail in the bricks of the 4th image is also very fine. I would like to see a print as I'm sure it shows even greater detail. It looks like the right camera is in the hands of the right photographer. Good for you. 🙂

....what about those poor legless elk?

Really though. Those are very pleasing results. I like.
