Ive been shooting exclusively digital since 2006, but have decided to get back into film after browsing through old negs and transparencies-- picked up a mint in box M4 and an MP (and a Rolleiflex 2.8F)
Part of my consideration is leaving a non-digital record.
I looked for an MP with the intent of keeping it long term--ie my one film camera for a couple decades, should I decide to rid myself of the others. I specifically looked for one that had a least a hint of brassing, so I would not be as tempted to baby it, and it could be allowed to brass naturally.
Found this a la carte with factory chestnut ostrich skin. My thought was to reskin in black lizard skin, but now that it has arrived, the chestnut looks like it has more depth, more presence.
From a purely aesthetic perspective, what are your thoughts on the chestnut?
