[Leica] M7 body coming - Lluis

[lluisripollphotography]

Peter,

I have the same bad experience, once I have ordered a scanned film, they gave me Tiff files but very bad scans, at this moment, except if you go to a high pro level the best is you scan yourself your negs and also develop, here a professional developing cost some more than 10€ per film and I’m not sure how good is.

I bought it mainly as a backup in case anything goes wrong with my M9, but having said that i shot film for around 40+ years from the age of 14 and it will be good to play with it again. Back to the world of exploring which film is best handled by the processors I guess because i don't want to get into the processing side of life, which I never did enjoy. it should arrive on Tuesday complete with an 'Artisan' half-case and a Leicatime strap - such class!
