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

I found my Visoflex had jammed up today, so I took it apart, cleaned and lubricated it, and polished the ground glass. I started out trying to photograph the squirrel with the 560mm/f6.7 but I had to go so far back for minimum focusing distance, I discovered I could get the same framing much closer with the 280mm/f4.8. Much lighter on the tripod and I could get 1/60s with that lens and 100ASA film.

chrism,
Love the look of your color images. It's funny how digital camera users have apps and add ons to achieve a film look! Just shoot film, I say!

Both analog and digital have their own merits.
I got both systems in 35mm and MF... and I would not want to miss either of them.

Thank you! The best thing (for me, anyway) is that I get to use delicious old cameras that I could only drool over when they were new. I'm waiting impatiently for a pair of OM-2n bodies to come back from a CLA with John Hermanson. So many lovely cameras.....

I just got a Nikon Coolscan 5000 and thought I would give it a try. I found this slide and while it is my first attempt, I am learning. This was taken in Hawaii, I think, in 1988. Leica M6, 90 Tele-Elmar Fat Chrome.

The end of this barn was curious - made that way, repaired, or simply a place to store sheets of corrugated iron?

I don't know how I did it, but I grossly over-exposed it, hence the conversion to B&W.
