    Leica good scanner for B&W negatives?

    Long, long ago when I was nearly always broke, I shot entirely in B&W and processed film and printed my shots with an enlarger in a darkroom. I do not want to set up the enlarger and darkroom thing again, but I recall that processing the film was simple enough in a dark bathroom since it...

    Infrared Gear IR at the Beach

    I received a R-72 near infrared filter earlier this year as a gift, so I took it along with me to the beach on a recent trip. I used it on my Leica M8.2 with a Zeiss 50mm C Sonnar ZM lens. This Zeiss lens has a red line for infrared focusing like lenses did in the “old days.” My particular...
