I ran into pramondh at the Leica booth. Where else?
I had a look at the M. At that moment some lady was holding the monochrome while the leica rep was explaining to her what a rangefinder is. We swung back later and all I can say is that it is very black. Very stylish. My friend also approves of both the Paul Smith colors and the ME grey.
I did a blind test at the Kodak booth, where I showed them a bulk loaded roll of kodak film and asked them to identify it. Three reps failed to identify it as tech pan. I was a little disappointed. I did manage to get two rolls of portra. The Kodak booth looked a little sad though.
I got the business card from the CEO of Novoflex and practiced my rusty German.
That was about as exciting as it got.
