I tried lab scans v Negative Lab Pro digital camera home scans for this roll and had mixed results, not totally happy with either, I really should never have sold my Pakon 135 and just lived with what that gave me(!)
Trying to decide if I like this lens with color negative film, jury is out for me for now.
I recently got a Pakon 135 plus and after figuring out the best settings for it with TLXclientdemo, I really like it - super fast, no dust and great looking files. Only con so far is limited resolution.
I've been using my M7 a lot recently. Normally I would shoot one roll of film, then put that camera away and pull another one out in the rotation. But the M7 is such a great tool and fun to use, I have just been reloading it.
I've had all the M's (except m5) and the m7 is my favorite! You can use it in manual mode just like an MP/M6 etc or auto when you just want the shot. I also love how it displays the shutter speed in the VF. I can quickly tell what it's metering for in certain situations and adjust accordingly.

I also have the 5 and it is so different than any other M - which makes it great just because of that. But the 7 is the go too.
@_jim_ I think pretty much mirrors my M usage. I also had the Ikon ZM and Bessa R3a but much prefer the 7 so unloaded those.

I love my M7...except...it's shutter is capping again (after getting it back from being serviced for the same issue a few months ago). Oh well...they can't all be Nikon-level-durable/reliable. That being said, having aperture priority is rad...and I feel like I am slowly getting more comfortable with how it meters (they can't all be wonderful M5's) and the electromagnetic shutter is so smooth and quiet.
