I love my new Leica

There is something incredibly 3 dimensional about the files from my new Leica M9.

For the first time since I have been processing images I am seeing a strange and beautiful 3 dimensional quality that is something more than a lighting effect.

Without the technical knowledge to correctly attribute it to the lens resolution or the quality of the capture, there is something very special about the output from this wonderful camera.

I don't normally rave about gear because it is really just a means by which I get to translate what I see into imagery, but I am amazed at the beauty of the files. I know I should expect no less, but it reminded me of why I worked with Leica equipment in my film days.

... now back to processing the images from the wedding of Brett and Sarita.

Cheers

Johannes

    Johannes,
    How's the Leica experience going?
    Not heard very much since I saw you on your excellent UK tour.
    Have you built it into your wedding kit? Any more photographs on show here.
    I'm thinking about a Leica RF and not sure about a film or digital one.
