My first two films with a Leica M

[Malkovic]

Picked up a Leica M2 with a summicron 50mm a couple of weeks ago and today I did get the first two rolls back from the lab. Quite pleased with the results even though it seems that my M2 needs a CLA... For the last year I've been shooting with a Nikon D700 which I used to love, but the Leica is just so much more fun!

Anyhow, the films that I choosed were Fuji Pro 400H and Tri-X 400. Three frames from each:

Did some minor cropping and level adjustments on the Tri-X ones.

I do have a couple of Velvia 50 in the fridge, can barely wait to get them developed 🙂

Hope you like them 🙂

Nice pics & same here! Got my M4 two weeks ago, and it's a blast to get back to film after years of digital.

[Malkovic]

Haigh and waltere thanks for your comments 🙂

So far I' enjoying film! However I'm not addicted yet, or? 😛

Adding two more, both from the Fuji film, the first converted to b&w.

will-i-am: Thanks!

Ron: Thanks 🙂 The scans is done by the guys who did the scans, a local company where I live. I do also like the results. However, the cost was just too much so I'll most likely buy a scanner myself, hopefully the results will be decent 🙂

Thanks Nick!

What about metering? External exposure meter or personal estimate ?

italy74: I used Sunny 16 most of the time. In certain situations where I had no idea how to compensate I used a lightmeter app for my iPhone which worked surprisingly good 🙂

However, I would not mind a built in lightmeter 🙂 But I still love the camera!
