When our son was about 1 year old, we had a painfull decision to make. He needed a haircut. Just before going to the shop I took a few pictures with one of my Leicaflex SL's, a simple Leicaflex lens of 135mm f;2.8 and a Kodak color neg film. After a lot of horrified protests, cries and tears we came back home. I then took an M-6 and a 135m F:4 Leitz lens at the same place in shaddow (summer) of the garden, with a Kodak Neg film of the same type and speed. I enlarged all the pictures a few weeks later only to discover (glossy 8x10 inch) there was no difference at all between all the pictures (he's got blue eyes and blond hair), you could see all details of his face and hair, but no difference between the pictures taken with the reflex lenses and the M's. We have only one child, but I never sold any of my Leicas (Reflex R's or M's) and their wonderfull lenses. Instead I bought myself 2 brand new R-8. I hope to find a DMR one day. Because of you maybe one day I will buy myself a Noctilux.
