Well, after eight years of digital photography, the lure of analogue has tempted me buy a Leica M2, which should arrive by the end of the week.
Although my darkroom reverted to being a utility room and my lovely LPL C7700 enlarger was sold, my Paterson tank and other paraphernalia is still up in the loft. My plan is to use the M2 with b&w film, mostly for 'street', develop the film using changing bag / tank etc then scan with my venerable Epson Perfection 3200 + VueScan software. The Silverprint 2011 catalogue came with this month's Black+White Photography magazine and is (for me) a useful source of up-to-date product info.
This forum looks likely to be a valuable source of information, advice (and help when/if needed!) and I look forward to participating.
Wish me luck!
