real nice Sanders - a good little gun is sometimes as good a a big one, even in the USA - tongue firmly in cheek :)

Carl! You found me!! I went into hiding on the other
forum and ... um ... ended up over here on RFF ... a
different neighborhood and I try to hide my Rolleiflex
habits over here. (We won't even think of mentioning
The Big Guns here in polite RFF company.)

How are you?

Well thanks - just waiting for an M7 or Ikon to arrive on the scene - first venture into this was with a G2 and hankering for getting back to the people. Wetplate notwithstanding of course :) Glad to see your gift is multi platform but then I'd rarther the eye than any amount of kit - Leica or not :)

Carl, I went over to B+H last weekend to fondle an
M2 and after shooting a II and a IIIa I have to tell
you, those M-series Leicas are HUGE! Check out
the screwmounts before committing to an M model.
 
Sanders - I don't want to hijack this thread, so I'll ask you to start a new one, if you're willing.

I really enjoy your 4X5 work and your LTM work. You are a master at both. Light is light, composition is composition, etc. But, style of work can be different. How about kicking off a thread with your thoughts and experiences on styles of work with LF & LTM ... tripods/ handheld... looking through the viewfinder/looking beside the camera... fast/slow... few shots/ many shots...studied/ spontaneous... taking/ making... effect on sitters of big camera/ little camera...etc., etc.?

Great to see a Summar put to good use. I love mine, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why they have a poor rep.

Ditto... One of the bokeh kings in my collection. Unique signature. These, however, are much nicer wide open that anything I've ever taken with my Summar. Great pics.
 
Sanders,

The Summar seems to be a lens made for portraits, I love its signature and when I do eventually dive into Leica... that will be one of the first lenses I own; (its look is a lot like my Rokkor MC 58mm 1.2, except much smaller and lighter)

Anyways, regarding your scanning I have the Epson 4990 I also scan at 4800 DPI, but I just use the stock film holders that came with the scanner (for both MF and 35mm)... its a great scanner though dust is hard to control without some compressed air :p

Your Rollei portraits are something else; unbelievably revealing and I love how you seem to get great variation despite similar backgrounds/lighting
