Hello!
My first post in this lovely area. may be a long one I'm afraid!
I seem to be getting rather disillusioned with everything Digital![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'm using an all Fuji line up and they all perform fantastically, do as they should, have a great IQ, colour etc etc etc... But, they seem to be leaving me rather cold. The whole process does. (thought the x100t is ideally staying as I do love that camera and the images I take seem to show that)
I work as a Graphic Designer and work all day, everyday in Photoshop etc. Being honest, I loath it.
I miss that draw of old photos and negs. In reality, when on earth am I going to go through the thousand of jpegs that sit on my hard drive, looked at once and then forgotten. I'm sure as damn it I won't be sitting with my kids kids when I'm old, looking through a Lightroom catalog! (I'm 37 now and my kids are only 4
).
I want, and need to slow down in my photography. I want that beautiful grain and softness and imperfection. I want prints everywhere in my house rather than jpegs on a disk.
Sooooo, I'm looking at ditching the lot (bar the x100t if I can help it, as this can come in handy for work!).
I've always always wanted a Leica. I'd be looking at a M6 and a 35mm f2 Sumicron in a very ideal world. Though the Bessa Keeps coming up. I know I don't want an SLR, I'm not a big fan of the mirror slapping about.
Has anyone else gone all film? am I being an idiot? Any thoughts on the M6 and 35mm Cron combo?
I've got all of my Fuji gear up for sale apart from the x100t... I guess I'm just after reassurance lol.
Cheers
Bruce
