In love with film...

[menthel]

After the precise nature of my G2 and all those CZ lenses I processed my first batch of film from the M6 and the voigtlander 50mm f1.5 and this photo just jumped out. I love film, I love leica and I really love my voigtlander lens! Such a bargain when compared to all the others out there!

Yep, from loading the film, to pressing the shutter, developing and then scanning. All my own work!

So all we need now is a wet plate camera and a darkroom and you can do the full process then

If I had the time, space and money to devote to it I happily would. Seeing a film from sticking it in the camera to the computer screen is a pretty amazing feeling. It could only be made better by producing proper wet prints.

Glad you're getting on with the M6, it was touch and go for a while that I would buy it but I'm going to hold out for the larger viewfinder version.

Creacking shot, I assume you'll be bringing the Leica to the film shoot?

I certainly will. This one suits me down to the ground as the frame lines cover the lenses I will want. Its an absolute cracker though.
