I've just bought a Leica m6 and summicron 50 - my first. I'm wondering where to start film wise. In the distabt past i used tri x on 35mm (and sometimes agfa 25!). I'll experiment with different films, both colour and b&w but i wondered which film apug users would start from in order to exploit this lens. Other parameters - I've nothing against using a tripod, though it does run counter to the leica ethos, i think. And I'm in the UK so that means films available here. I'll dev b&w myself.

Sharp pictures are counter to the Leica ethos?? A tripod is the sharpest lens you'll ever have. You can't use any camera/lens combo to it's fullest potential without one. Get a lens shade too.

Scan of print? Which developer?
Films seems to be more less different for scanning.
Darkroom, if exposed and developed OK, I could hardly see any difference.

To be honest, I ignore all of these "best films" and trying every one I could afford, it is fun and most appropriate way to find the best. If any.

Which film?
