Hi all
i'm new here. just want to share my story of addiction in the M world!
Last year i bought my lovely M6 ( sold by Flash-Gordon, you must know him, a great guy indeed), it was mint, black paint, very very nice and since i could't afford a Leica lens he advise one of the next best thing, IMO... a konica hexanon 50 f2. wow!!! again, in excellent condition. well, i must say i had my doubts. well it turns out, i've taken the best pictures i have ever made (again, imo). The feel of the body and the smoothness of the focus, simply amazing, so good i took it in my vacations to NY, best vacations ever and best photos ever. well, all good storys have a bad ending, and i sold it last week. Flash-Gordon did told me several times: don't do it, you will regrett it, big time. But i don't use it a lot and i need the money, have to buy lens for my nikon D3.
Guess what...?!!! i did regrett it, and didn't bought any nikon lens, instead i bought a Mamiya 7 with the 80 f4. good deal in all, but now starts my inner battle to buy another Leica. i must be nuts (i know i am), my mind is saying i don't need it, my heart is weak he's saying i should and don't look back. ahahahahaha still don't know what to do... if you guys want to help. i'm all ears. ehehehehhe. leave with some pics from this vacation on my little sad story.
All with Tri-x 400, Leica M6 classic and the Hexanon. don't you think it has some of that "Leica Look" or is it just me?
i will post more soon. have to resize them.
