I used an old M series Leica camera around ten years ago (my ex's) and I got hooked. I didn't touch photography since then due to my busy life, but I decided to pick it up. I have to admit that I pretty much forget everything I knew, so I need to start from zero.
There are two things I want to listen to your suggestions for:
1.As my first Leica (I don't even own an SLR right now because others don't feel right since I used that Leica. Yes I'm very loyal already =) ), should I start with an M6 to practise (and then get, maybe M9 in the future) or go directly to an M8? Which lense should I get as the first one? I don't consider absolute budget as much as the best price/utility combination.
2. What book should I read to gain more knowledge about the physics as well as other theories of photography? I read many threads here including the one discussing M8 under low light and I was very impressed by the deep knowledge some of the members have. I understand that it's quite a commitment and it takes time, but I am ready to start. So please help.
I appreciate your input.🙂
