photography

This little series of photographs gets to the heart of the direction I've been going in camera equipment. These pictures are taken with this Leica IIIf.


Leica IIIf , 50mm f2 Summicron c. 1955

It's very similar to my Leica IIIc, 50mm f2 Summitar c.1949, which is the camera that got me started in this direction. Alas, I can't afford to rebuild it yet but my FED 2 is more than a reasonable subsitute until I can. There is a directness and connectedness shooting these old manual cameras that is missing in the latest digital offerings. They still take great pictures.
