Thanks, I'm going to try it after I've shot a batch of film!

Who is developing Color (C-41) at home? I have a good bit of experience with developing B&W, and I'm wondering what color kits/developers you are using. I am really enjoying the photos on this thread!Thanks, I'm going to try it after I've shot a batch of film!

A couple quick snaps with the m4 and 28 summilux. Loving the 28 focal length lately. The m4 is not the most ideal camera to use for 28mm but it worked surprisingly well. Portra 400.

Great shots! Does the Leica M4 have dedicated 28mm framelines, or do you use the entire viewfinder to frame, similar to how I do it with the M2?

Portra 400.No 28 frame lines until the M4-P. Both with my M2 and current M4, I would just use the entire viewfinder. Pop on over to Show me your camera and see where I upgraded to external finders.

Here are some photos from my first-ever roll of film using my Leica M2, Ektar 100 film, and a couple of lenses like the Leica 35/1.4 SR and 50/2 Rigid. I shared some of them on the other thread, but that was before I learned to use NLP with your help! This roll is special to me, even though the images were just test shots to get the hang of the camera and learn how to expose without a meter. It was also my first time developing film at home. I really enjoyed the Ektar look and plan to use this film often.

Yeah, Ektar really has a unique look.
Isn’t it amazing that with one camera you can try all these different types of sensors? And you use a new sensor for every shot?

Yes, it's indeed amazing! but perhaps not for every shot...more like every 24/36 shots.

What you need now is a medium-format camera with removable backs, like say the Mamiya RB67 or RZ67, which allows you to change films for every shot. Just get a few backs and put different films in each one so you can switch out as desired.

Yes, just like the m2, - no framelines and have to approximate using the entire VF.

A few more of my crazy kids. 28 lux, m4, Portra 400.
I've really come to appreciate not using an internal light meter. It's helping me memorize typical exposure values and definitely helps in backlit scenes.

Love these, especially the first one. That's exactly the look my girlfriend gives me (and one of my cats, too) when I'm about to take a photo of them. "Not again, come on!"

These are just lovely. Print em, stick em in an album. Memory shots.

Great images Shawn! Family pictures look magical on film. When nailing exposure and focus, it's very satisfying because you did it yourself instead of relying on a mini computer.
I totally agree on not using a meter. After seeing the settings repeatedly, they startt to stick in our memory. What's cool about the M2 and your M4 is the absence of internal metering. All we see are the clear 35/50/90 frames without any distraction!

That actually is why the M-A with an external hot shoe meter can be preferable to the MP/M6. The viewfinder is cleaner with an unbroken lower horizontal framing line.
It's also why I prefer the M4-2 to the M4-P - the 2 has a less cluttered VF.

Thanks guys! My kids are getting pretty used to the camera now. My daughter often says "daddy take my picture".

Thanks Fred. I love family photos on film! Yours look very special. My wife loves them too (which helps my collection keep growing haha). I put a battery in my MP yesterday and it was telling me the wrong exposure (getting tricked by a window) so I may take the battery out or just ignore what it reads unless I really need it. Would be great if there was a way to turn the internal meter on and off.
