Spending a roll with a buddy’s Leica M4 last week solidified my love for rangefinder cameras. Unfortunately, I was nearly out of film when I headed out with the M4, but I was able to dig up one last roll of Lomography XPRO (no, not that XPRO) Chrome, the same stuff I used to shoot the Lomokino Movie Maker. Good enough.
This camera is refreshingly mechanical. No meter, no nothin’ electronic. Tons of fun:
I think I may be in the market for a film Leica M after shooting the M4. 🙂

These are incredible. The quality is so crisp and detailed. Almost doesn’t even look like film! How did you get your hands on one?
Thanks! This M4 belongs to a friend of mine.
I have to agree with the previous comment, crisp clear pictures very detailed I’d never have guessed you’d used film.
Using a classic is always great. The M series Leica has and always will be a great camera. Their design was durability and working in close, a delight for the photojournalist. Nice shooting too!
film Leica is my dream camera 🙂
Oh man, I would love an M. You must be a pro at the range finder. I found it so challenging but your focus is bang on.
Great focusing indeed! sure would love to try one of these
Thanks for the comments everyone!
These are beautiful, even with the weird film. The Suki pics are my fave, of course!
