Leica M6 + Summicron 35mm F2.0 ASPH
my little sweetheart
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*

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 …

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.

New Leica added to my collection
Leica M3
My Leica M3, probably will be my biggest camera investment for a long time. This piece was made in 1964, that's almost a decade older than I am. Quality of Leica is simply amazing, after a good 40+ years, it's still working perfectly.
