"Clacker"
You don't have to reply to this thread, I just need to keep on telling people how excited I am with the results of my Leica .... (My wife is starting to avoid me!)
I did a few rolls to get the hang of it, now I roughly can read the camera I have made some serious rolls, Iford 50, APX100, TRI-x and HP4 man do these prints come out beautiful, every film clearly has it's distinctive qualities which are clearer to see with the M6 than with my Hassleblad.
I have the 35mm asph which is very middle of the road (footprint-wise) but has beatifull, do you call it rendition ?
And then my Elmar 2.8 50mm, what a great character this lens has, it sort of 3-D's your print, gives it depth make sit come alive somehow, allthough pretty cheap lens wise, I really love this lens, it produces beautifull "film-Noirish" images
So very pleased as well with the rangefinder concept, need som time and film to get the hang of it, but it's thourough and fast.
As for the argument of not being able to speedload leica's ..... testikels, this goes pretty fast once you'v done it a couple of times.
The supposably quiet shutter sound, indeed... I don't really need it, but it is a pleasure to hear, like the humble rumble of a 1935 indian, a 1966 jensen interceptor ....
I have done 2 scans with my epson flatbed which are in the gallery, not really please about the 35mm quality of the epson, I use it mainly for mid-size.
I am checking out film scanners and as soon as I have one I hope to bore you all to death with my leica film uploads ....
Yes I love my leica .....
