To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Hi Crew, Given Leica have released the all B&W shooting camera. The "MM' and given, I bet the majority of the crew started shooting when B&W was the film of the day used in our Leica's of whatever models? Then colour became the film of the day and many stopped shooting B&W altogether. Where would you put shooting B&W, film or the "MM" digital today? How important and where would you shoot it today? As the old lad asks the question? :-)............... "REAL PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOOT B&W. EAT SUSHI AND DRINK SINGLE MALT SCOTCH!" "THERE ISN'T ANYTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN A GREAT BIG BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPH! IT DOES SOMETHING THAT TELEVISION CAN NEVER DO!" "COLOUR IS SENSUAL! BLACK & WHITE IS INTELLECTUAL!" So OK and the question? Is the MM going to bring these back to life in how we see, re-act and shoot?? And or will it influence photographers to return to B&W images however they may create them? Just curious cheers, Dr. ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
