I'm a take fifteen digital pictures of the same thing kind of person. Actual film cameras make me feel anxious and make me always ask if my photographical whims are film-worthy before even putting the camera up to aim it.
I envy the confidence and commitment real cameras require.
preface: i pinky promise this is not a shit-on-your-joy comment! i had an M4 for a few years and i just could not fall in love with it. i lusted after it for so long and i'm not sure why but we just never clicked (no pun intended).
i ended up trading it for a hasselblad 500c/m and two lenses. thankfully, i am in love.
i fully respect the leica game and i'm not sure why they're not for me. very excited for you!
@robritz haha. No offense taken. The rangefinder experience isn't for everyone. I've been on the RF train this entire century up until ~2020 and they are my favorite system for spontaneous/casual photography. But give me a big ground glass if I'm putting my camera on a tripod.
In all seriousness, this looks dröölworthy.
also WHOA, the lens! that's some fast-assed glass right there
