Yeah, these are my babies.

Here's the kind of stuff I do with them.

Wow, I am still dreaming in a digital Leica Monochrome.

I'm just a lurker here, but I am a bit of a rangefinder fan and I was active on the RFF about ten years ago - same name. I still have, and use, various rangefinders: Leicas, Mamiyas, Makinas and good old Nottman, a converted Polaroid 110B.

I'm awaiting the arrival of a Fuji X100 (that LOOKS like a rangefinder).

 

I'm putting up my old website this week. In only have about 40 images up, all from the Lower 9th Ward post-Katrina. All were taken with an M6 and a Tri-Elmar.

 

Jeffrey, wonderful images and I'm glad to see there's another fan of the WATE and MATE

 

Here's three of my faves, M9, M7 and Omas 360 ~

Good to see so many rangefinder enthusiasts!!

 

This is my current one after the M8 and M9-P:

 

 

Absolutely love the output of this camera. I do however miss the great colors of the M9 sometimes so might buy one back at some point.

 

 

And an example (with the M9P btw)

My pens have souls

 

They lie, dormant, waiting silent for my touch to awaken them....

 

They are beautiful and elegant, a throwback to a time when things were made with more character, patience, and beauty....

 

You may find that you slow down and write with more care and thought...

 

I like old technologies that still work perfectly well....

 

*********************************

These thoughts expressed elsewhere in this site about fountain pens also apply to Leica film cameras; as well as to wet shaving with a fine lather, razor, and badger brush (I belong to Badger & Blade as well as to RFF, LUF, and LaVidaLeica).

Nicely said; from a simple fountain pen to a roll of film with a Leica rangefinder...kind thoughts.

I'm not on any of the forums, but I do shoot Leica. I have a IIIf (actually a factory-converted IIIc from 1949), and an M(240). Lens-wise, I've got the current 35 'cron asph., which is rarely parted from the M, a Zeiss 50/2 that splits time between the M and my little Olympus EM1, and 3 LTM lenses: a 50 Summitar, 35 Summaron, and 90 Elmar.

 

My avatar/profile photo is a detail from one of my M shots, come to think of it.

It's nice to see RFF members here on FPN. I use an Epson R-D1s for most of my gallery photos (https://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/fosforpens/). It's not the friendliest tool for pen photography, but that's the best I have right now. Maybe someday I will get one of those micro 4/3 or a Ricoh GXR type that can use Leica lenses.

Here are a couple of my Leicas and an example of the kind of stuff i like to do with them.

Nice kit, nice pic. It's the kind of picture one can't resist captioning in one's head.

So what's your caption, Barnaby?
