Hey. Congrats on your Leica. Gorgeous. Hope to won one, one day. All the best in your film journey.Looking forward to seeing your frames and the entire experience. Am in 2025 also delve into going back to film with my Nikon FM--2's one is still working i think. Can you please do a video on how you home process your films and the process of scanning. Appreciated. Cheers
Your video was actually recommend to me by UA-cam, which is refreshing for the algorithm to be sharing some proper creators like yourself, not just the same huge channels over and over. Subbed and looking forward to watching your future videos :)
I enjoyed hearing about your experience getting and using the M6. To be sure rangefinder cameras and film photography is not for everyone. We each have our own experiences. I do believe that using a film camera can make you a better photographer. You only have 36-40 shots per roll so you are more considerate on each click of the shutter button. You tend to develop more skill looking around you. I’ve been a M3 & M2 user for more years than I care to remember. I prefer the 28mm and 50mm lenses. Enjoy your journey with your M6 and may it be a memorable experience.
Thank you so much 📸 I believe shooting with a film camera has alter my perspective for the better. I really enjoy using a rangefinder and find it hard to put down or choose digital at times 🩷
Great video you can get about 38 frames per roll. You also don't need to open the flap. Just drop the film in and pull it so that the edge gets into the 3 pronged spool. The close the the base plate. Now go to the film rewind knob and slowly wind the film to remove the film slack in the canister till you feel the tension is tight enough then stop (at this point your film in the camera body would not have rolled back into the canister. Then you pull the advance lever once and click the button. your good to go now and you should get 38/39 shots from each role. I do this on my Leica MP.
Thank you 🙏🏽 Good to know about the flap, makes the process of loading film smoother 👌🏽 For the m6 advancing 3 times is the method described by Leica in the manual (yes I read it 😁) the loading process is a bit different for the MP and as you described it. I typically get 38 frame from commercial rolls and around 35/36 from bulk rolled.
A cheap way to figure out if film photography is for you is to get a Olympus EM5 Mark 3, with a lumix 20mm (equivalent 40mm) 1.7. That’s going to give you far more of a film experience than a 100v and I have both.

Yes I’ll a note of it - maybe later in the year
Good choice! I got my M6 2022 re-release last October. Best choice ever!! 🎉 You will love it!
I certainly will :) 📸

Thank you, appreciate your kind comment 🤩📸
Have a great day
Same reaction I have. The algorithm just suggested this video and it is a refreshing change. Subbed as well.
@@prherman great to hear 🫶🏼📸
Congratulations! What a great set up. Have the best time!
Thank you, I totally agree 📸🫶🏼
Did you really say that buying a Fujifilm X100V was a cheap way to figure out if film photography was something for you?! That was unexpected.
Everything is relative, right 😅

@@hipster_cph just make sure that when you drop the roll in it’s gone all the way in and not stuck halfway.
It's somewhat liberating to use film again, no more thousands of digital photos to edit. 🎉
Fully agree and don’t worry about charging cameras batteries ever😁
Film is so expensive now😮
Yeah tell me about it. I bulk roll my film and just bought a cheap Fomapan 400 100ft/30,5m roll 📸😜

Sounds like a great setup :)
Have you tried developing at home yet? B&W is straightforward and enjoyable!
No not yet. But been thinking about buying a starter kit for bw development 📸👌🏽
28mm at f8 set to 3 mtrs is a point & shoot 😀 light permiting
