Leica Users

For those interested in the M5 I have recently updated the wiki entry and would be grateful for any comment or corrections.

Thanks

I use Ilford Delta 400.. I will then push it to 800 or 1600 but where I can leave it at 400. I find the smoother tones really help in such a contrasty environment. I also use it for most of my day shots too.

A question rossawilson1 - what film are you using for your night pictures?

Hello Paul, welcome aboard and I think we all know each other the moment we arrive here at LeicApug.

Hi Paul, just had a look at your prison photographs.. amazing texture, form and light.. what an eye you have! That Leica quality certainly is evident.

Hi, my name is Paul, and I'm a Leica user!

I use an M6TTL and an M7, with a 50 Summicron and a 50 Summilux. Have a look at www.paulhardycarter.com and www.lightstalkers.org/phc to see what I do with them.

Hey Leicaites, my 28mm Elmarit is for sale on ebay. APUG members can have free worldwide shipping (insurance extra). Item 130270380767.

Another Leica user to the midst! M6 and 35mm summicron F2, soon to be adding the R system to my arsenal.. can't get enough of that glass!

My equipment? To shoot: M6 TTL, SUMMICRON 35 mm, LEICA ELMARIT 24 mm, flash SF20, Lunasix 3 and Ilford HP5.
In the darkroom: the Leitz Focomat V35 for paper barium and RC treaty in Ilford and Amaloco chemistry. What fun!
My site and my blog: with you to visit!

I've been very happy with a 21mm f:4 CV Color Skopar. I like something a bit wider than 28, and the 21mm really opens things up while remaining "controllable", in the sense that you can shoot it without appearing too wide if you don't want it to.
