Well-known
Wel , I had my 1/2 day in Leica M 8 tuition , and what an eye opener it was .
Firstly , Brett , the professional , was down to earth and approachable , and cut a swathe through all the needless concerns over raw or jpeg .
He uses jpeg for all of his projects . He also liked to do minimal post processing , which is great for me , raised on slide film i also confirmed that , for my tastes , the camera is over eposing , so I have adjusted it .
i found that I knew much more than I anticipated , and had the opportunity , both to see stunning monochrome images , but to set my M 8 up , as the two others did , to optimise b/w shooting .
With a borrowed Leica 50mm F 2.5 , even my results were promising ... with more useable shots that my '' friendly competion ''.
i simply have more confidence in the camera , my abilities , ... and no longer feel that I am not good enough to own what is seen as a rareified out of my class icon .
But I want that lense !!!!
