In my youth - some 25 years ago - I enjoyed taking photos and printing them in my own small darkroom-bathroom. And till a year ago, I had no interest in photography, living life of a computer programmer. A year ago, the course of events lead me back to this forgotten craft. In short, 5 months ago, deciding that I deserve the best tools, I purchased new Leica M6 TTL + 2 lenses(used): Summicron 50mm and 35mm. Wonderfull they are! I am very happy with Leica - it has soul. I also own Pentax(MZ-30) and Nikon (FM3A) and digital (coolpix 995),- and they are fine instruments - capturing all what is infront of their lenses, plain, as is - as I see it. But Leica sees more, differently, - there is something added, hard to explain what it is, - - it helps me to discover the world with it - I am sure you know what I mean. More about me: professional programmer, 45 years old, widowed, living in Israel. I scan film with Coolscan IV ED, adjust in Photoshop, print on Epson Photo 810/or C80. Please have a look at some of the photos I made during my recent trip to London in http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=237310 and tell me what you think. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
