Dan in Marin (in San Francisco)

Leica M3, Leitz 50mm f2.8 Elmar

Well, convenience won out over quality once again. I had my 2 rolls of Fuji Superia that I shot when Dolph was in town, processed and scanned at Walgreens. It's decent enough, IMO.

This was taken during lunch with Dolph and me at Ghirardelli Square.

Decent enough?

It's a fantastic portrait!

The "Leitz look" really shows here!

Thanks Steve! I'm still amazed by how smooth the 50-year old M3 works. It's truly amazing engineering and very inspiring and fun to use. And as everyone can see by my posts, I think the Leitz optics really are special.

Steve, I wonder how the I-50 lens compares to the Elmar in terms of image "character"? I guess I'll really need to find a take-up spool for the Zorki-5a and find out for myself. I haven't had time to find one but the Zorki really needs a test drive.

Warren, as I recall you let me use your little beauty to take a portrait of you. Any chance we can see that one as well??

Hi Dan, welcome back from your Yosemite trip. I'm looking forward to see your shots from the trip :).

I don't like to show my ugly mug on here, but since you asked, I'll post the two that you took of me using the Leica when I have a moment. :)
