Taken with Leica Minilux on Fujicolor Superia X-tra 400
Quite surprised that I’m actually starting to like the green of Fuji films. With Kodak Portra costing so much these days, maybe I need to start shooting more Fuji to save some money.

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 …

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.

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.
