Excellent and nailed the exposure.
1. How did you meter?
B. You should do a little M2 vs MP write up.
Thank you! For these shots, I follow the Sunny 16 rule. As it was taken during sunset, I opted for an aperture of f/4 and a shutter speed of 1/400s. Since the M2 doesn't offer 1/400s, I prefer overexposing to 1/250s. So, my base exposure is ISO 400, f/4, 1/250s. Because I wanted to shoot wide open, I used reciprocity and ended up with ISO 400, f/2, 1/1000s.
Honestly, I find the M2 and MP to have a very similar feel and performance, especially with a 50mm lens. I haven't even put a battery in the MP yet.

M2, Portra 400, Leica 50/2 Rigid
I know digital is mostly, technically perfect, but the character of 35mm film is simply unmatched. Just love the colors and depth of these! I actually sold my MP for the M2 because I didn't like the battery cover mucking up the front of the camera

Griffith Park Observatory. Really a great spot to visit. Park at the bottom and hike up, or take the bus.
Right! I've should have known that. I once climbed the Hollywood sign and enjoyed a nice view of the most rural, urban area, complete with lemon trees and coyotes!
