Thank you for your comme...Marcus, Jim and Michele:<br /><br />Thank you for your comments. I think it's easy to forget that in the creative process, simplicity is your friend. I love gear as much as anyone, otherwise, I would not have this blog. But as I have matured as a photographer, I think I have come to a few conclusions.<br />1. Reliability of my equipment is important, and knowing that a certain lens/camera combo will give X results.<br />2. Think less about the gear and more on the subject and my approach.<br />3. Knowing a certain film will respond in a predictable way is important.<br />4. Serendipity is great when you are prepared for it.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Markmfophotoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15229417718013779882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717981.post-15469141354693856782018-12-06T15:42:10.948-05:002018-12-06T15:42:10.948-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.mfophotoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15229417718013779882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717981.post-44742774046705318692018-09-28T06:37:02.191-04:002018-09-28T06:37:02.191-04:00Thank you!

What a great camera! <br />I organised recently an exhibition to show my (first) 50 years of photo portraits, and on the poster of the event... there it is, the Leica M2 in my hands (a while ago...).<br />http://blog.funnytaleproject.it/2018/02/figure-50-anni-di-ritratti-di-michele.html<br />Thanks, Mark. I follow regularly your blog and I have indicated it among the photo links in mine (https://enezvaz.wordpress.com/).<br />Never get tired of photography!<br />MicheleMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397472400177637901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717981.post-88920539191189775472018-09-27T07:50:25.991-04:002018-09-27T07:50:25.991-04:00Terrific shots!Terrific shots!Jim Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941665968757241278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717981.post-45668599797156813632018-09-26T23:51:32.383-04:002018-09-26T23:51:32.383-04:00Great photos.

I only have a 50mm lens for my Zeiss Ikon ZM but never feel the need to buy another.<br />I once took the Nikon D300 to Malaysia for a month with just a 35mm lens attached. I think there was just one time I felt the need for a slightly longer lens. It's very liberating to restrict yourself sometimes. Last summer I went to Canada with my D810 and a 24-85mm zoom. I regretted it almost as soon as I pitched in Newfoundland. Much too heavy. I'm now looking at getting a Fuji X-T3 and avoiding some neck pain everytime I go out to make photos.Marcus Peddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828640292397153550noreply@blogger.com
