So, this comes from what may be one of the last rolls of Kodachrome I shoot. It's pretty much becoming unobtanium these days, and doesn't stay in stock too long.
Shot with the Noctilux...and the lens has pretty much become my staple when it comes to using the Leica (and film for the matter) Although this afternoon, I had the opportunity to shoot with the new Leica M9, a full frame digital rangefinder. Something I have been waiting for since they announced the M8 a few years back. It should be very interesting to see how the Noctilux comes across on the new sensor in the M9, and if it performs well - I may have to bite the bullet here and look into a digital M a bit further.
Unfortunately, the usual arguments between digital & film still exist....but it's becoming apparent that each really has it's place, and as labs close down, we have less choice than we did a few years ago as far as developing goes. I do love the look of film, but there are some digital cameras out there that are producing files out of the box that look less brittle and hi-def than they have done in the past. Personally, this is a good thing in my eyes.
