Reviewing my M skills.

Shooting with a rangefinder Leica is not easy, you have to get used to it, and the nearest you're focusing, the easier it is to cut out fundamental limbs from the model.
But what you get in exchange is a unique experience, great performances of the viewfinder in bright sunshine, and the quality of this Summicron-M 50mm at its best!
I screwed up lot's of pictures of Ania on the nudist beach with the Leica M240, because I was to near to the subject, and because I'm not using my M enough.
But with £lisandra I managed to do a good job most of the time.

The M cameras must become second nature for the photographer, and if you have not been practicing for some time you just lose it.
I need to get back this ability to frame on a an M camera once more, you never know when it is going to become useful...
