I'm in a bit of primitive situation wrt darkroom- don't have one! The film fumbling is done in a changing bag and all else in the bathroom. I may well go back to the plastic ratcheting reels if I don't get the metal reel skills down. I'll develop for Hugh Thompson as well and I don't want to ruin the man's film. The image is from the first roll shot on the M6. This was my first real Leica experience. I shot a couple of frames long ago on a friend's M3 but until yesterday, that was the extent of it. I am going to like this camera- it's a much more personal experience than are the DSLRs. The Leica/film combination will, I think, work very well on the street here in Kabul. I'm psyched!
