Early Morning, 5th Ave. at 42nd
Leica, Tri-X at 1600 with Diafine developer. Probably not ideal to use 1600 iso but what the heck you use what you have in your camera. I guess that’s what makes digital so useful as you can switch iso at will. Do I miss it? Not in the least.
I picked up a beat up Leica M3 with a 50mm collapsible Cron (thanks Elizabeth!). I’m shooting a test roll on it now but it desperately needs a CLA and will be sending it out soon.

You bastard.
Albert November 25th, 2007 at 11:14 pmSomeone heads upped that M3 on RFF, and I couldn’t get a hold of her.

But on a lighter note, I have now in my collection:
a 35/2 Summicron V4
a 50/2 DR Summicron (Minus the eyes)
a 90/2.8 Elmarit (Current version, collapsible hood)
–
Now I just need a decent body to put them on, and a Hexar RF might win.

Like the picture BTW. Diafine is also what I need.
Hey Albert,
How’s the 120 slides going? Congrats on those lenses. I thought you had a Leica that you were using?
John November 26th, 2007 at 10:29 amI do have a Leica, but I’m always going to want more.
Albert November 26th, 2007 at 1:56 pmI’m trying to figure out if I want a new body or not…
– M5
– M6
…are both tempting me, but I just don’t know.
–
As for the slides, haven’t shot any just yet. Doing lots of B&W.
Ahh..yeah..wanting more. Which M do you have now? Is it an M3?
As for me, I think I’m done. The M3 I just got does have problems and I’m sending it out so we’ll see what Youxin Ye does with it after a CLA. But truly I’m done buying and will start selling some of the cameras as it’s a shame they aren’t being used.
John November 26th, 2007 at 2:07 pmThats a shame.
Albert November 26th, 2007 at 2:18 pmI just want a more modern M body.
Then I think I will be happy with a 35/2 and 50/2.
–
Maybe an M3/M2 down the lane to replace my Franken-M.
For some reason this feels like a a scene from an old zombie film.
