Yeah, I did a Thing, and the December Photo Walk Part One.

 I stopped by Burlington Camera back on the fall on the way back from Niagara on the Lake, Joan told me she was getting a large Leica collection incoming including a couple of M6 Classics. I asked her to set one aside for me and wasn't too picky either wether it was chrome or black. In the end I went with a very gently used chrome Solms made Leica M6 coupled with a mid 1980s vintage Made in Midland Ontario 50 f2 Summicron.  While not a stranger to M mount Leicas, it took a bit of getting used to having the framelines for 28mm but that changes the framelines for everything else, and introduce some for 75mm which I don't have a lens for, yet. The other thing having an accurate on board meter. Of course I take my new camera out out on the December Toronto Film Shooters photo walk. Once I got used to the on board meter and the frame lines, my M6 was easy to use and enjoyed shooting with it a lot.  Camera" Leica M6 Classic, 50 F2 Summicron Lens.  Film: Kodak Tri-X 400, Il...

Got my Canon 7s and 7sZ back from Lensmedic YYC after a long overdue CLA on both bodies so I took one of them out for wander around the neighbourhood back in early December. I popped a roll of Pancro 400 and a 35 F2 lens on the camera (save for one shot) and wandered the neighbourhood. Gary does amazing work, that is all   Canon 7S, Canon LTM 35 F2 and 100 F3.5 Lenses.  Film: Bergger Pancro 400, Ilfotec HC 1+31.
