My first Leica M Photos

[maclaine]

Well, to be honest, these are not exactly the FIRST shots, but they are the first ones I've posted. They are from the second roll of film I put through the camera, Tri-X pushed to 1600 (my favorite film and my favorite way to shoot it).

I got my grimy paws on my first Lecia, an M4 with an M4-P viewfinder, a few weeks ago, as well as a DR and a tabbed 50mm Summicron. I went through three rolls before dropping them off to get developed, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. The camera is a joy to use, and the pictures it takes are beautiful.

We had a pretty nice autumn day here in Boston last Saturday, and I needed to finish off this roll, so I wandered around for a few hours to see if anything interesting was happening. It turned out to be a good day to walk around. I have yet to finish scanning the roll, but there are a few more good pics in there I want to share. I'll update this thread when they're ready.

Some of the pictures have stories associated with them that are a little too long to post here, so click on the links to go to their Flickr page if you're interested.

I do love Chimay and Belgian beers in general (very much so), but that stuff was actually Harpoon Leviathan Imperial IPA (that's a mouthful). They just put it in a Chimay glass.
