I bought a Leica M7 with a 50mm Summicron \u01922.0 lens. Yes a film camear!\u00a0 I purchased it used on a whim more or less. Buying my camera\u00a0 was a kind of therapy for me. I was never a Leica fanatic and still do not view myself as one, however <strong>I really<\/strong> do like this camera.\u00a0 I guess that I may have been converted.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after shooing I start scanning the web for all things Leica. During that searching for all things Leica I found this great site <a href=\"http:\/\/theonlinephotographer.typepad.com\/the_online_photographer\/2009\/05\/a-leica-year.html\">The Online Photographer<\/a> I have been following it regularly since. I highly recommend this site. It is great, informative, and fun to read!<\/p>\n<p>Well getting back to my year I had gotten away from photographing for myself, for a variety of reasons. Now I did not need a Leica to start shooting again. In my possession were and still are 2 very good and functional cameras a Rolleiflex TLR and and Nikon FM2. Sometimes it makes a huge purchase to jump start your creativity. Really I am glad I did buy this camera. Never having abandoned film and leaving it for dead, I am so happy to have returned to shooting for myself again. I do have to say I was totally blown away by the imagery that was produced by the Leica camera and lens.<\/p>\n<p>Here is one of the first photos shot with my Leica M7 and Summicron 50mm:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_380\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 293px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dezel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/R1-0A1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-380\" title=\"Roberto on the Steps\" src=\"https:\/\/dezel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/R1-0A1-283x283.jpg\" alt=\"Roberto on the Steps\" width=\"283\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dezel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/R1-0A1-283x283.jpg 283w, https:\/\/dezel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/R1-0A1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dezel.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/R1-0A1-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">One of my first photos with my Leica M7<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Adventure with my Leica &nbsp; Well it has been a little over a year since I bought my first Leica camera.
