Like many enthusiastic photographers, I have long yearned for a Leica. The M series have always seemed to me to be the epitome of 35mm rangefinder cameras, however the associated costs are far less attractive. I once borrowed a Barnack Leica iii, and, while I could appreciate it’s quality, I found it an utter pain... The post Leidolf Lordomat – Capturing Light and Shade appeared first on 35mmc ..read more
