In the first shot I was re-familiarizing myself with the dynamic range, in the second the bokeh. In both I was testing for the focus accuracy of my rangefinder.
1/125 | f/4 for both images.
So far, so good.

All that power.
Film, Inspiration, iPhoneI’m living in the 21st century, doing something mean to it
Doing it better then anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero need his theme music
No one man should have all that power…

Leica fixed the skin tones.
InspirationThe M10 images I’ve seen so far lead me to conclude: Leica fixed the skin tones.
Tomato-Face™ technology has been rightfully abandoned.
Rejoice!

The new Leica M10 was announced today.
It looks like a lot of little things were done to improve this legendary line of cameras.
The sum total of these improvements should translate into a wonderful user experience.
Well done Leica.
—Peter.
Back to the future.
InspirationIt’s the eve before Leica releases the M10 and I find myself contemplating film again.
Wait, what?!!!
Oh yes.
One of the things I did over the holidays was try to catch up a little on my family photo book projects.
Yesterday I received the completed “2014” book from the publisher. As it turns out, in 2014 I shot quite a lot of film with a Leica M3, Mamiya 7II, and Mamiya RZ67 (I also shot quite a lot of digital with a Leica M9, Leica M240, and Nikon D800).
Guess what? The film images look better in print. Especially the medium format (Mamiya) ones.
