Finally I'm a M3 owner

[Arvay]

Few posts here contained my regrets about selling M6.
Yes.
I felt really lonely without film Leica having M8 and ZI.

I bought M3 in Austria during Christmas stay and it made my stay. I'd like to share the very first pictures made by it and 50 1.5 ZM. I should have to say that I knew that I buy M. That's why I brought film with me. This is 4 years expired Konica 200VX.
To be honest I used Seconic 358
I made the sole but the best present to myself for New Year 🙂

Nice 🙂 as well as holidays in Styria, I guess. Where did you buy it, in Graz ?

Cheers,

Roland.

No, we were staying two days in Vienna after arrival 🙂 I planned everything probably month before. I sent a letter to the guys in Leica Shop to find out their timetable for holidays. It is very difficult to find something working during Christmas and New Year holydays).

Yep! M3 Was my Xmas best gift as well! Still waiting from the lab for the first roll though... (I did TriX, I should start develop by myself this waiting gets me nervous...) mine it is a "mountain" roll as well.

Beautiful shots, esp the signpost and the mountains

Beautiful shots.
If you didn't tweak the color balance in post-processing, that's a beautiful film. It's not green/blue like Fuji or warm like Kodak.
