How about more and more fun with Leica M? (Film)

Peter, I like the photo of your wife and your son (with the cart). The photo of your son alone is beautiful. This is a really nice series. The combo of M5 and Sonnar seems like a great pairing.
Thanks Cindy

I wasn't sure what to except, I just started developing B&W at home, and this gives me a chance to use the M5 more and more. The 50/1.5 Sonnar on the G1 is fantastic...and I really like this lens with the M5 also. It is [magic] at f/1.5, and the bokeh... To die for :thumbs:

Hey, all of a sudden I´m an M5 guy as well :) - again.:eek:
And Peter (the real M5-guy); that third photo of your son alone is really beautiful!

A couple of shots here of my daughter this last Saturday in the nicest of pre-winter weathers.

1st off, Thanks Cindy for kind words on the sepia shed....
I may tone the shade down a bit in future attempts...

From Last Saturday, a nice gentleman I chatted with for about 10 minutes..
We both finished a long walk at the same time, but from different paths

M5 / CV 28 f/1.9 ASPH / Tmax 100





Really like this series. I should have some to post soon, as last night I finally got around to developing the roll of Plus-X I've been sitting on the past few months (have been shooting 120 a lot lately, so 135 has taken a back seat).

I had a CV 35/1.4 SC for a few months, It is a nice lens.

Congratulations on the new M5, Leif. The photos of your daughter look great.

I just went back to M6 Classic (Photo taken with M9 and Zeiss Planar 50 f/2 ZM)


I just got the first test roll back this afternoon. Ektar 100 and Zeiss 35 f/2.8 Biogon-C ZM
Closed for the season

A few from the roll of Plus-X I shot over the summer/fall (I shot a lot of film, just not 135). Funny, looking back at the whole roll, almost every shot is very low-light.

Thanks, Ollie and Scott.

Mike, I love these. I always end up using my digital in low-light. These inspire me to change my ways. My favorite is the SP, but they are all superb.

Cindy,

That M6 is a beauty! Very nice shots with the Zeiss glass. I sold all of my ZM lenses along with the M8, and although I miss them I'm satisfied now with the old Contax G for 35mm and the G lenses get double duty on my m43 as well.

Nice work Mike. I love the window shots of the old register and mannequin.

Thank you, Cindy. I think film fares much better in low light (at least over my M8). I was thinking of selling or trading my f/1.4 Nokton, but now I'm reconsidering that, given every shot on this latest roll was shot with it.

Actually, I guess I'm now considering trading it for the f/1.2 Nokton :).

After seeing tokengirl's great results with Rollei Retro 80S, I bought a 10 pack, and am looking very forward to shooting that next.
