[Leica] Leica MM

[Gerry Walden]

Tina

I am going to argue in favour of only taking the MM. I feel that it will engender a single-mindedness that will be beneficial. One of the downsides of digital photography for me is the previsualisation that you go through before pressing the shutter is lost in the editing because you have to previsualise again on the computer and totally different circumstances. In the days of film you previsualised the finished image before you put either the b&w or the colour camera to your eye and (in the case of b&w) the next time you saw your image it was exactly (hopefully) as you previsualised it. We have lost that.

Whichever way you jump, I am envious of your trip.
