My Insanity Knows No Bounds Apparently - Cult of Leica


Recommended Posts

  • Editor

So , my new to me Leica gear will be here Friday 3/17. 
 

i traded a bunch of redundant gear for:

 

Leica M240

Zeiss C Biogon 35mm f/2.8

Zeiss Planar 50mm f/2

 

I’m working on a post that will go through the whole thought process and will release that once I have had a bit of time with the camera. 
 

Very excited to begin the photographic journey in this direction.

Leica is addictive! I truly regret selling my M3 and M6 bodies and the small group of lenses I had. If I was ever going to shoot 35mm film again it would be on those cameras.

So the camera and lenses arrived on time, but it appears that the rangefinder is in need of calibration.  I'm working on that now and hope to have some images to share sometime on 3-20 or 3-21 when I have time to get out and do further testing on the adjustments that I have made.

Calibration was done, so testing ensued today as the weather was great and I got some shots.   Not 100% sure Infinity focus is where it needs to be, but I think I got it dialed in pretty good.

 

Here are some samples from today.  Shot in RAW and processed in Lightroom Classic.

 

my girl Scoobi at f/2, handheld
