My baby's back! (Leica M6 with Summarit)
Nov 13, 2015 12:45:09 #
Man oh man...what a wait. I think it was about a month and a half or more but my baby's back from the doctor!
She had a light leak and needed a CLA and I got the upgraded Viewfinder installed.
I'm going through a test roll right now. :)

I'm glad to hear she recovered and is healthy again.

Sweet, sweet. Just advancing the film with a Leica is an sensual experience.
It really is. Some people will scoff but it really has to be tried to be believed. There is something special about using a camera that doesn't have any extras; no auto-anything; no autofocus, no modes, nothing except shutter speed and aperture.

I totally agree with that. like someone on here asked a while back about using an non autofocus lens. "Why are you using that antiquated stuff." its because to me this is what real photography is all about.

:thumbup: Could not agree more.
One unsolicited suggestion. Keep an eye out for a reasonably priced half case or camera protector as they are called sometimes. IMO this is not GAS-eous purchase. :) I never used my M4 without its original Eveready case and judging from the scuffs, nicks etc. to the leather, I have no doubt that thats the reason it looks pretty much the same today as when it was purchased some decades ago.

As much as I hate scratches on my camera, I hate half cases even more. I'll take a few battle scars over a case any day.

Glad to hear you got your camera back, but what kind of roll did you use? Personally, I think Cinnabon are the best! Kinda messy to be around a camera though! :lol:

Somehow I don't think that putting a cinnamon roll in a great camera is a good idea. LOL
