Leica Showcase Leica M Monochrom

[xdayv]

A great series, really brings the human element into the disaster.

Hope the lens is an easy fix.

Brian, thanks. There are some loose screws, I might try tightening them up... or send to Leica but would take time. Leica would be finally opening a store in Manila, this April.

Here are some more recent pics...

Well, shot with the M Monochrom and 90mm f/2.5 Summarit-M. Subject is my new (to me) Leica M5 and my absolute favorite piece of glass, my 1937 Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm f/1.5 Sonnar hand-tuned by Brian. The M5 was purchased from Sherry Krauter fully serviced. It is about as close to a brand-new M5 as you can get that isn't NOS. High 1358xxx SN, 3-lug and that glorious TTL match needle metering. I've wanted one of these since I saw the ads for new ones in the photo mags.

Congrats Asia. Sweet camera for sure. If I still had a darkroom I would pick up an M4 or 5.

I don't have a darkroom, but the one thing Ken Rockwell's site was good for was information about high-quality processing and scanning. I send my film out and get a DVD back.

Dave, another powerful series exquisitely done. #3 is my favorite.

Ran some errands today and brought my M Monochrom with me. As always, minimal post.

This set were all taken with my new 1949 Leica 5cm f/2 Summitar and red filter. This is very clean example, just serviced by Sherry Krauter.

My "unbiased opinion", this thread has the best of the M Monchrom on the web.

I wholeheartedly agree! Fantastic work.

 

[asiafish]

I will say that is true with one exception. There is a guy on GetDPI with the nickname Element-M who consistently gets results I envy.

A shelf full of goodies!

Here are some photos from the mass grave in San Joaquin, Palo, Leyte... a 25-minute car drive from Tacloban City. All taken with MM, 28 Cron:
