Film Leica M-A

What you can understand when you shoot with film

Same film x different lens = different photos that come out.

When you shoot with film, you get a direct feel for how the lens is portrayed.

When I see the finished photo, I simply feel that photography is all about the light that comes through the lens.

This is even more so when taken on monochrome film.

It's a world of light and shadow.

At the same time, it also emphasizes the importance of the film (or sensor, if digital) that receives the light.

Unlike digital photography, which allows you to take pictures of anything, the range of shots you can take depends on how well the film reacts to light.

Because of this, they are also sensitive to the amount of light around them.

In addition, the feeling of "it (the subject or environment) was really there", including the fact that the physically developed film remains with you, is stronger than it is in digital photography.

I think that's one of the reasons for the emoticism I feel in film photography.

Although film prices and development costs are getting higher these days, we can still choose the type of film and development method to some extent.

I'd like to simply enjoy both digital and film, including celebrating the fact that we live in such an age.
