I love this photo - the colours, the pose, the vintage camera, everything about it. I wish I could find the original source - though it is tagged with a watermark on the bottom left, a google search did not turn up the original photo (closest I got was a Model Mayhem photographer, but it’s not in his portfolio).
Leica M6 with a (sorta rare, maybe not) 0.85x rangefinder system. Most are 0.72x. I like this one for longer focal lengths, but unfortunately, 35mm is the widest lens I can safely use and still get the framing in place.
My super cherry mint (well, it’s been CLA’ed) Leica IIIf. Still takes fantastic photos, but they do have an “oldie sheen” to the captures when I scan them. Colours are really poppy. Photo taken with a Fuji X100 (irony!)
The Nikon F4s, as functional art in our living room. It is loaded and ready for bear at a moment’s notice.
Leica M6, waiting for its next trip outside. It is patient.
The Leica M6 TTL. With a Zhou black case (with built in thumb and finger rests).

Oh, I want too (in an M9 or M6, not the M8) but I think it would get incredibly dirty very quickly ;)
Had a lot of fun with this, this weekend so far. More rolls tomorrow.
And still more camera porn.

Straight from the camera with minimal post work done. Shot with two strobes (one off to the side to simulate daylight coming from an imaginary window).

Just a bit more camera porn.

The good kind of camera porn :) The Leica M6 TTL with 0.85x viewfinder, and the brightline-stretchin’ 35mm f1.4 Nokton on board.
