And I clicked on this thinking you were going to show me a great photo of a heard of Buffalo....LOL

Yes Bison is quite tasty too ......I like your flowers

I just got in my email 65% off from Canvas On Demand. There quality is pretty great. And although expensive 65% makes it a worth it.

I meant you should sign on to the Leica forum and show your photos
Post it in "Leica Collectors & Historica" ....https://www.l-camera-forum.com/
Those guys will tell you where Leica bought the leather for your case and the name of the cow ;-)
.....But it sounds like you got your question answered already.

Ask your questions on the Leica form. Those guys will tell you EVERYTHING you want to know.

I got mine when it first came out ...its gotta be 10 years old .......I think more like 14 but it's not handy at the moment for me to check.

I feel the same as you. About 24~70 and 70~200mm
If your a working photographer go buy a new lens decision made. My thought on the very same wonderful lens is, first if the newest design was 1/2 the weight and just as good ....get a new lens (its not).
For me if it fails I'd send it to Nikon and refurbish it......how much can it cost? My 28~70 was a $500 to rebuild and works like new. Its 19 years old and failed about 3 years ago.
The other good reason to get the new the new lens is if your older lens (no matter how great) does not play well with your new upgraded body. This is the case with the 28 to70 on a Nikon 750.
So when I upgrade body's both of these great lenses may have to go.

That's my 2 cents.

What no Leica fans out there?
My M 240 is overpriced but a Joy to use ;-)
Over priced is a relative term.

IMO Good design is worth paying for no matter what the category......if its something you want and choose to afford.

Could you attach the link please?

Steve Perry’s book and your manual have all the answers

When you have captured sufficient information to make the print/image you desire?

Every print needs some post ....does that make the exposure incorrect.

Correct exposure always depends on the subject and the end result desires?

Post #7and 6 Gene51 has it spot on, with that great AA example!

Happy Birthday ....... Weegee

I have never been a Fogg fan. Is a little to precious for me....as a camera bag;
I also have never seen an old warn, well used/ beat up Fogg.

We all ought to be careful this could turn into a Leica thread;-)

I use a Digital Hadley as my walk a round bag. It's small light and holds everything,
It holds my 3 lens kit: a body 28 or 35, 50 and a 90.

I do believe in build quality it will outlast me;-)

I have found Matt Koloskowski has a real knack for explaining LR and PS https://mattk.com/products/
I more than got my money's worth from his Lightroom Course, and he will answer your specific questions personally as well.

There are lots of free learning courses on the market. Ever try Lynda learning? https://www.lynda.com
Those courses are free through many public library's, Email your library and see its one of their perks.
Hope this helps

Agreed ....but on topic.
Its digital,as different as Daguerreotypes, Ambrotypes, and Tintypes were from each other.

I know this is not a popular opinion but I don't see the Silver Print process continuing its popularity past another 15 20 years.

I wonder how long people will still use the process for more than a lark? ........ 30 years....50?
It will be the same as pulling the equipment and chemistry to practice the above "alternative" processes ?


Whats a generation 30 years? I'm 65, my children may play with it but certainly theirs wont.
In a couple generations The Silver print process will be practiced by a handful of serious artists at best
.......well that's my guess;-)
