Get it going .. or just get one. Get backup inks. And I'd get some good fully weighted (not thin) 100% rag Hahnem?hle or Moab paper in the handy convenient 17x22 inch size. And get a portfolio case with strap and handle to put the paper in so I can hit the sidewalk with it the minute they are out of the printer and signed. "I just happen to have these prints with me" (pulls out huge case) I'd print one from my very first roll out of the camera. Then quickly fill up the portfolio. If you buy one. You will fill it. Function follows form. I'd go out and shoot by moonlight and no light. And see how those print. I'd shoot apples. Then I'd shoot tomatoes. I'd shoot dandelions. Then I'd shoot petunias. I'd shoot doggies on their walks. Kitties in their windows. I'd shoot the hell out a everything. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ mark at rabinergroup.com > From: Harrison McClary <lists at mcclary.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2010 15:45:56 -0500 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] Well I went and did it > > I ordered an M9.
