Photos with Leica CL + 40mm f/2 Rokkor in Memphis!!!

It took my 4th roll of film to really get used to rangefinders, but now I'm LOVING IT. I'm considering selling my 5d2 and lenses for an m9 even.

Anyway, I also found out that my meter works fine, I was simply not cocking the shutter! My focusing has gotten better, and I found my (current) favorite type of film... Ektar 100

5 photos from memphis:

Smoke Break (I'm amazed at how sharp this one is from a crummy Walgreens scan)

Agreeing with bruno here... very nice colours. Very sharp photos too! the 40/2 Rokkor/Summicron has really caught my eye today...

fails to show the character of the city --- looks like you just ventured 1/4 the way down a trolley ride.... there's so much more to the city
