I caught this old chap sitting alone in a cafe in Paris in 2009. I saw him again last week at the Salpêtrière hospital in Paris. He was sitting quietly alone but looked just the same.<div></div>

<p>I agree with Karim that the shots on your website could easily have been taken with a rangefinder. But a RF camera is a very different camera than a SLR and lots of people just can't move from one to the other. So before you commit to buying you should perhaps beg, borrow or steal a RF to see how you get on with it. You should also consider alternatives to the Leica RFs. The newest M is very expensive. There are those who think the image quality of a Fuji XPro1 is as good as that found in an M9 and the high ISO usability is much better. And you can use Leica lenses on the Fuji. I use Canon dSLRs (I have a range from 10D to 5D and 70D) and I have the Fuji XPro1 (for which I traded my old M8 because of its poor high ISO quality). I also have a beautiful M6 which I love to use. The problem with film is the expense and the quality of commercial film processing which I have found wanting. I don't have the facilities for darkroom work and just developing B&W and then digitising it with a scanner seems rather to miss the point. Might as well start digital. I use my Canon 70D or 5D often and take the Fuji XPro1 when I don't want to lug lenses about. Before you sell off your Canon stuff you should think about the less expensive (and in some ways just as good) alternatives to Leica. You might be able to keep the Canon stuff as well. Of course if you want the Leica name, you are like a lot of others!</p>
