   I started out in photography in the day of film. I remembered admiring those old Leica's film cameras every time I see one back than. I've never own one, but thanks to people I know I have handled an M3 and MP of which was a beauty to shoot with. Even in today's digital world, I still have high respect for those old Leica film cameras.

    Some of the most memorable photos were taken with a Leica camera. They were and still a great film cameras, especially the M series.

  But sadly I feel that Leica today is very different than Leica back than. It seems like it become more of "life style" luxury products rather than a photographer's tool. Well, that's is just my opinion.

  Well, still congratulation to Leica for it's 100th anniversary, thank you Oskar Barnack and Ernst Leitz for popularized 35mm film and cameras.

Take care,
Buddy

Yeah, I've always wanted a 500 series Hasselblad and then later a Leica but they've always been a bit pricey for me and now with digital technology, their prices are even more out of reach! 

(Obviously, the cheaper Leica P&S is not too bad but they're not much better than others at their price range.)

    Well, it is not too late to get a Hassy 500 or a Leica M film cameras, feed it with some films and have fun with it
