Now that I have my dream MP, I should probably sell the M6. If I do, this will have been the last roll I shot with it.
From Roll 2021-014 (Leica MP)
Out with the new MP and a roll of HP5+. I think these are all shot with the 50mm Summilux ASPH
From Roll 2021-013 (first with Leica MP)
Here are a few from the very first roll through the new Leica MP.

Tri-X in the Hasselblad 500C/M. This was the only shot on the roll that I liked.
Betting long on film with a new Leica MP
·688 words
I enjoy both film and digital photography, but the pendulum has been swinging toward film recently, and I’ve been having a ball.
From Roll 2021-011
These are all taken with the Leica M3 on HP5+ and were processed in HC-110 Dilution B. I’m pretty sure I used the Elmarit-M 90mm f2.8 for the entire roll.
Don Delillo on Photography

A photograph is a universe of dots. The grain, the halide, the little silver things clumped in the emulsion. Once you get inside a dot, you gain access to hidden information, you slide inside the smallest event. This is what technology does. It peels back the shadows and redeems the dazed and rambling past. It makes reality come true.

I’m trying to stick with the Adobe suite for processing, editing, and managing photos.
Black-paint Leica M10-R. Beautiful.

Yeah, I’d definitely get the black-paint version. The only problem is that kit is around $17,000 as pictured. Still, just look at it.
