Whether it is reliability in skin tones for portraits, popping color in landscapes, or true to life and speed for low light real life experiences, Kodak Ultramax just delivers. It is not common to be able to get a reliable look even when a film is expired.
The Leica M2 – My Family Heirloom
The Leica M2 is a very special camera to me because when we started our journey of starting a family, I made the conscious decision to use solely the Leica M2 to document the whole way.
