To the clerk at Map Camera- “I really did not expect to buy a camera today”

and then “I bet you hear that a lot”

he said, “yeah, that’s usually how it goes”

Now I really can’t justfy owning my Leica M5.

  1. Good move. For film, medium format is increasingly the way to go as digital cameras encroach on 35mm territory.

  2. Of the last 300 or so rolls of film from the past 5 months, about 250 have been medium format aka made with my Pentax 67. The prints are entirely worth the work.

  3. Actually, after purchansing that camera, I went over to Yodobashi to drop another couple hundred dollars on paper and chemicals- the clerk there said he has been seeing a lot of younger folks shooting medium format.

  5. It was about $350 and came with the strap and booklet and rubber lens hood, which quickly broke apart after I popped it into place.

    Looking online about it, seems to be a good little camera with a sharp lens. Photos to be put up as soon as I have a chance.
