Hi Ranier,

Your biography on the DeviantArt website says you use a Minolta D7i. When did you change to a Leica M7?

 

[Rainer Pawellek]

thanks for the warm welcome.....the minolta d7i.....uuhhh, that makes it years since i used this cam. had some digital crap since, 300D...20D but in fact i always had a leica m in mind and made the step six month ago by getting the m7 kit (2/50cron) and added a 2/35cron from canada aferwards which i replaced by a 2/35cron asph recently

Welcome Rainer

I see your photos. I like it. What wide lens you uses with the Leica? Some photos appear like 21 - 15 mm perspective

 

[Rainer Pawellek]

Thanks again. On my site the Leica shots are only under the icon called "Leica shots" and I use the 2/50cron and a 2/35cron asph.
The other photos were taken with C**on DSLRs and as you can tell have some Photoshop afterwork done to them......
The Leica shots are straight from the cam and scanned with a coolscan VED but I also just bought a used enlarger and propbely will soon just use my prints, even for the internet.
Some say, you take the way in the wrong sens but I do not agree as I shot digital with so called, quality material for years and think those "overclean" digital photos just look "dead" aside a well executed Leica shot

I don't remember if I already told you hello over here, Rainer! So here it comes :

Hello 🙂
I'm just one of these traitors who left France to go in the Eastern Block enjoy the FSU cameras 😀

Welcome Rainer,

I enjoyed your comparison between digital images and "analog" images (dead vs. alive?). I also enjoyed your gallery and web site.

🙂

Welcome Rainer! You have some truly excellent images on your webpage; you will make an excellent addition to the team here. I just got an M7 as well, and I am really enjoying it. Though I have used Leicas before, there is really something about having AE and the shutter speeds in the viewfinder. Though I am used to fully manual, it really speeds things up a bit if you need to make a grab shot....
