Dentist...
Dentist...
Spent the afternoon in the chair. This was my consolation on getting home:

Not being up on my Leica models...that's film, right? I seem to recall that you prefer film to digital, then process the film yourself.drmoss_ca wrote:Wendell,

I don't mind going to the doctor or the dentist...right up to the point where I feel they are pushing me to visit other folks for serious issues that need correcting right now, at great expense. Happened on my last trip to the dentist, about two weeks ago...my initial complaint was passed off as something needing serious gum replacement surgery, but has resolved itself on it's own like I knew it would. After that experience I wish I had a scene like yours to calm myself down with...so calm.

Gene, the M9 is a digital version of the M-series rangefinder. My film Leicas are MPs. Actually my collection of film cameras is growing, since I discovered that I can now buy what were very expensive cameras that I could only drool over in my youth very cheaply! This is especially true for the medium format gear that wedding photographers used to use - practically giving it away now, though yesterday's find was an OM-1 and a couple of lenses. I ached with envy when my brother got one in 1974, such was the beauty of its design.

Dr. Moss, that Olympus is beatutiful, no doubt. Understand about the Leica's. Oh - and I certainly understand your desire for a medium format camera...I love what they can do, and the images you can get from them.
I've got 2 film camera's right now...a really old Canon TL, and a Canon A2E. The A2E uses the same lenses as my Canon 20D digital (sensing a Canon theme?), and I really enjoy both the film and digital. I trained in high school to process and print B&W film, so that wouldn't scare me, but home lab color processing was in it's infancy in 1972, so I never learned it. I think it would be a lot of fun to do some of the panoramic shots, but I just stay so busy these days trying to make a living that photography has taken a back seat for now.

I loved the OM-1. I still have a Minolta X-700 of the same vintage. I miss the brand choices we had in those days. Now everything seems to resolve to Nikon or Canon. Although I understand that Sony ingested Minolta. Those 35mm SLR's are beautiful tools, with some heft to them, like a DE vs a disposable. Having said all that, I was glad I was lugging around my light-weight, plastic Nikon D-60 during a recent vacation to Washington, DC.
