I never touched a Leica before, have had it a week and it is truly the most amazing camera I have ever handled. It's so incredibly intuitive - it feels just as solid and real as a Hasselblad - only half the weight and twice the speed with :-( batteries... I am, I confess, a long-time HUGger (and tree-hugger, but enough about that), and it's great to see so many familiar names cross-posting. I still love the Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, but sometimes you need to drive a DB9... Here are some test shots from my first weekend back in 35mm. Strolling around London Zoo and London Underground on a typical April (rainy) day watching the watchers. I'm afraid some of them are still square, and I'm not quite ready for colour yet... Nice to meet you all. http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/corvus76/20080412_M8 Joanne Simpson
