Leica M9, 50mm Summicron and a Cat

Leica Power!

I am still amazed, in awe of the Leica M mount glass. A tried and true Nikon guy, I thought there was noting else out there in terms of glass quality and sharpness, man was I wrong!

Here is a test shot of that damn cat (perfect test subject) from tonight looking out the window at the falling snow flakes with a newly acquired Leica Summicron 50mm lens on the Leica M9 shot wide open.

Calumet 4×5 Large Format Film Camera Black & White – Voigtlander R3M

Still messing around with film and loving it! This shot is with my Voigtlander R3m and Kodak Tmax 400 film + the one sharp Leica 75mm lens shot wide open. There is nothing like the tones and dynamic range of black and white film, especially Tmax film :) Self developed in the basement washroom with Ilford DDX.

Nikon FM 35mm Film Camera & MD-11 Winder

I believe this 35mm Nikon FM camera came out in 1977, its a tank with all manual settings for shutter speed, aperture and of course manual focusing. I picked it up today with three lenses (attached is the 50mm f/2) a bunch of filters, two flashes, cases, MD-11 power winder (attached to camera in photo) and a 90 degree view finder, the DR-2 is seen in the foreground. Cant wait to load it up with some film…

Metal lens hood & case, both telephoto & wide angle lens adaptors plus the case and hot shoe mounted eye piece, close-up lens and case, shutter release cable, flash and all the manuals! The lens is fast, contrasty and very sharp, its a 45mm f/1.7. Will post a photo from this awesome camera soon.
