Week 10/Roll 10 – Leica M2 and Kodak Portra 400 Film

I have been lucky in friends either giving or, in this case, lending me some very fine cameras. The Leica M2 is on loan from a friend. It belonged to her father and she had had it serviced, so it’s in beautiful shape. I used it during week 10 to document an nice storm that moved through and for my artist-in-residence work at Elmwood Cemetery.

I found the effect from this lens, the Elmarit 90mm/2.8, interesting. I didn’t notice any haze in the lens so I’m wondering if it’s a characteristic of the lens when shot into sunlight.
