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

Hi all, I've not been active here for some months. I have been crazy busy traveling for work. Last month I did a trip where I was in Baltimore on sunday, Frankfurt on monday, Paris on tuesday, Toronto on wednesday, and back home on friday :eek:. Actually I love it, but there is not much time for photography.

Last week I decided to go on vacation, and of course travel! I am becoming more and more aware that I have "been everywhere and seen nothing" as they say. So, I flew from Maryland to Phoenix, bought a car, and drove it back home -- 3,400 miles in 8 days, with stops in the Grand Canyon, New Mexico, Texas, New Orleans, Virginia, etc.

BTW I am blown away by just how amazing, varied, and beautiful this country is in terms of both landscape and people....:thumbup:

Here are some photos from along the way...

The new ride...Infiniti FX45 at the Grand Canyon



Grand Canyon



I felt a little outgunned with a Leica until I saw all of the point and shoots




From a kooky (in a great way) place called Truth or Consequences New Mexico. It used to be called Hot Springs until they won a contest in the 50's to change their name to a popular TV game show:wtf:



A one stop shop. Get your land surveyed, grab a quick 'tat at Mo's, check in with the parole officer, and then some sleep at The Dude Motel.



Still scanning more film...

Nice stuff, Scott (good to see you back around these parts). And a very nice ride you picked up too. (BTW, that last one is too dang funny!)

I'm not sure if this qualifies for this thread as I'm new around here (the analog section, that is). I borrowed a friend's Voigtlander Bessa-T camera to test my Leica-M lenses; Elmarit 21mm and 24mm, Summicron 28mm and 75mm. Unfortunately, the films were not developed as good as I hoped for. I tried to save a few with a Nikon Coolscan 9000 and here are the results.
Best,

Thanks Lloyd,
This lens was given to me by a good friend of mine which also belonged to his father .... I sent it off to DAG and it came back and now is one of my favorites for black&white ... Nice sometimes knowing the history of things ..
