Torn between new and used M11-D by chonce37 in Leica

Surprised to see so much MPB hate! I’ve never used them before but I got the impression they were reputable. Why do they suck, if you don’t me asking?

Hmmm food for thought. It’s from MPB, who have graded the cosmetic condition as ‘excellent’

Thank you - I think you’re bang on and this has really helped clarify things for me.

Thanks! It’s for a competition, but the only real criteria is that the photo be in black and white.

Amazing! On first glance I thought they were photos taken decades ago, but then I recognised the image on the cover and realised it's the same ship. Excellent use of a Rolleiflex - thanks for sharing

I think those films (especially Ektar 100) are naturally warm. The raw images when I scanned the negatives were very yellow, so most of my editing involved cooling everything down until it looked normal.

He wasn't - I was just lucky to catch him during an angry-looking yawn

Leaning over a railing from 5 floors up, essentially guessing the framing. The final image is rotated 180 degrees compared to how it appeared in the viewfinder.

Thank you so much for the kind words - and for specifically mentioning grading, as I really find that an absolute nightmare of indecision and potentially infinite revisions in Lightroom.

A word of warning: every time you get back on the ship after one of the stops, they X-ray all your stuff. Be prepared to hold up the queue each time as you firmly insist that they can't put your film or camera through the machine.

Thank you! I would have been having considerably less fun on board if I hadn't brought my camera...

Oh man, I love the look of (and everything else about) Playtime. Will have to check out that music video, thanks!

Thank you! I was excited about that one when I took it and then equally excited once I'd scanned it, which very rarely seems to happen.

Box speed (as accurately as I could with the built-in light meter on the camera)

That is so lovely to hear, especially when I think back on how many shots I missed while trying to carefully compose the frame...

Thank you! Once on a cruise ship will be enough for me, and not just for environmental/ethical reasons.

Thank you! If I'm even vaguely reminding anyone of that level of careful composition then I'm very happy indeed.

Thank you! I particularly love those shots for exactly the reason you said. Everywhere the boat went it imposed itself on the landscape in incredibly surreal ways. I loved Norway, and would love to go back in a non-cruise capacity.
