Real B&W finally … luv it
Finally, The Impossible Project has produced a real B&W Polaroid film. Not only that, the new black border film actually turned out pretty nice. 
These pictures were taken with the new PX600 Silver Shade UV+ on a SLR690. The pictures are really sharp and it's no longer that sensitive to light getting in the way during the development process.

Day @ Chinatown
Went shooting in Chinatown with my Leica M3 and a roll of Kentmere 400.
Yong tau fu stall at the basement of Chinatown market. I was attracted by the big 釀豆腐 signage, looked so unreal in a Singapore market. The man at the left did not appear too happy with me taking a picture of his stall. After I was done, I just smiled and walked off quickly. Love how the shot turned out, especially the lighting and shadow around the stall.
He knew I was watching him as I took a while to wait for the crowd to clear before taking the shot. When I finally lifted up my camera, he put on a really sweet smile. *nice*

B&W Tiong Bahru
Went through a roll of expired (2005) Kodak Professional BW400CN film on the Leica M3. The film came free with one of the earlier camera purchase on eBay. Have to say that I like this film very much, very fine grains and rich tones. Development was done at Fotohub and scanned at 16 base high res.

Leica – that I can’t have
Well, clearly I want a M9, but surely I can't afford it. Probably I should consider a M8 or M8.2. But why should I spend so much for a digital camera? Afterall it's not going to last a lifetime, as of how a traditional Leica should.
So I'm back thinking of film. A MP will be nice (still too expensive), M6 is at the very attractive price range of US$1.5K-$1.8K, but M7 is probably right at the sweet spot now, aperture priority auto exposure, TTL, around US$2.5K.
I "need" a black M7.
Then I need to think about the lens …

Shot with Leica M3 on Lomo 800 film
This trip, without the little girl, was a very different one. We did a lot more walking (Central to Sheung Wan to Sai Wan and back, easily clocking 5-6km), and eating at more "local" places that typically is not going to be child friendly. Good fun, but again, too short.

Leica M3 with JnK Leather
New clothes for my Lecia M3 Handmade leather half case from Jnk in beige and lemon thread.
Fits well, excellent workmanship. Nothing beats the smell of real leather.
Also got another half case + cover in Dakato Wine color for my Fujifilm Natura Classica.
