    There's a woman in my class who brought in a Leica. She borrowed it from her dad, who inherited it from his dad.

    I wonder if you got a double stroke if you could still get it upgraded to single?

    Developing is easy eh mate? Wait till you start printing... I was spending any free time I had on campus in the dark room, something like 16hrs a week working in there. It's part of the reason the professor so easily allowed me to jump to Independant Study after just intro class

    The dark room does become a massive time suck.

    I've seen an Ansel Adams show where they showed some of his most famous images printed straight vs. the prints he published. It's truly mind boggling how much of his best work was mostly massive amounts of hard work in the dark room -- before the existence of Photoshop.

    I'm almost half tempted to email Leica and ask. KEH has a bunch of double stroke M3's.

    Still even used M lenses will break the bank.

    I spent 8hrs working on one picture, went through almost half a box of paper to end up saying fuck it an went and reshot it.

    I don't plan on getting that fancy. If my prints look adequate, that's good enough for me.

    I have not learned to like film, despite getting an A for a final grade. Prof really liked my final project. I'll be more than happy to shoot digital from here on in. Going to sell the FG soon. I didn't like working in the darkroom, but that had more to do with my fellow students than the actual work I was doing. I'm glad the semester is over.
