The new TMY seemed to handle the wide luminance range well, though. Tents over looking lakes on bright sunny days make a lovely setting for a wedding, but all that backlighting can bedevil the flashless photographer. The M6TTL, CV 35 1.4 SC and a couple of rolls of the new TMax 400 (TMY) performed admirably. On the 4th of July, my cousin Brian got married on a veranda over looking Lake Michigan. M6TTL, CV 35 1.4 SC, TMY (New TMax 400), TMax Dev The black dot is ever so much more discrete.

If you ask Leica customer service nicely, they will send you a black dot to replace the M6TTL’s standard red dot.

Can such a tiny camera lead to a 4×5 behemoth? Or does the Leica just mark the high water for 35mm, the point at which all other emendations are just the polishing of turds? The next logical step can only be a bigger negative.

An old Linhoff or a press camera might be a good place to start. Maybe a medium or large format camera is in the works for me. As that’s an incredibly difficult question to answer, I’m deferring it by thinking about gear.

That slower pace has got me thinking about what I want to do with my photography.

You just keep wanting to look through it. It’s slower in use and fussier in loading, but I suspect the source of that serenity is that big, bright rangefinder, which is just a tad warmer in tone than the Hexars.

The M6TTL is a calmer camera than the Hexar.

Focusing is easier, but those vestigial corner-less framelines are just as hopeless as ever. While I’d hoped that the higher magnification would make using the 90 easier, it doesn’t.The ease of using the 50 on the M6TTL has me thinking that this might be a one lens camera for me, which makes me wonder what I should do with the 28, the two 35s and the 90.I’m not sure what this implies long term, but at the moment, I’m finding that I use the 50 a lot more than previously. Because of the higher magnification, for a left eye dominant glasses wearer the 35mm framelines on the M6TTL are not as comfortable to use as those on the Hexar.If it’s easier to focus, it seems mostly down to the higher magnification.

The RF patch on the M6TTL is slighter bigger and sharper edged than that of the Hexar RF.

Nothing organized here, just some wandering observations: “These things give you notions unsought.”

econtalk let’s just leave that at the complexity of the world and the appreciation thereof.

In other news, I’ve been presented with a Kreativ Blogger award by Amy Sakurai. Maybe next time I’ll just take the 35 for the sake of variety. A second lens probably wouldn’t have killed me, but we spent a lot of time on our feet, so I was glad to have little to carry. I could have gone wider at times, but for every wide shot that I wanted, there were plenty of opportunities for a tighter view. I was mostly happy with just the one lens.

I suspect that my M6 spent most of its former life on a shelf, so the shutter may need some attention. No major equipment troubles, but it looks like I had a shutter problem for half a dozen frames on one roll, with vertical streaks marring the frames. More on that later, perhaps.Įverything from this trip was shot on TriX with the M6 and the 50 Hex, processed in Xtol 1+1 for 9 minutes 68F (or the equivalent time/temp depending on how cold the water was) and scanned on the trusty Scan Dual IV. The post travel readjustment always takes me a bit of time, but this one is taking longer than usual. With the bulk of the processing done, I’m just now starting to feel like I’m back from vacation even though I’ve been back at work for a couple of weeks. Lots of scanning remains, but I’ve got enough of it done to resume more regular posting.
