How many Leica M film bodies ?

[natures-pencil]

I still use my Leica M6 all the time, mostly with a 35mm f/2 lens. If I have been using a

digital it is such a RELIEF to get back to the simplicity of the M6. I have to be more careful

as I can't shoot 300 or 400 frames in an afternoon - but that just leads to fewer

exposures, but more really good pictures. There is no comparison in the quality of the

lenses. 35mm Summicron v. 28-200 equivalent.

 

At the moment I am living and working in Utrecht in the Netherlands. If I don't want to

shoot black and white and develop it myself then a pack of three 36 exposure colour print

films costs just 6 Euros (I get better scans from negative film than from slide film). The

local MediaMarkt will Dev and Print a film for just 3 Euros. That works out at about 10

cents per frame,developed and printed! That is very cheap photography. I scan the best

images (takes

about two minutes per image, including set up time) and file the rest. So I still have all the

benefits of digital post-processing,
