Hello Antonvito, beautiful your M4! Is it a new purchase?
Good evening, Ermanno.

Yes, Ermanno.
I took it a few days ago in a shop here in Rome. It is incredibly beautiful, without a scratch and
looks almost new after 52 years :-( :-( .
To test it I immediately took a roller of Velvia, but here the nightmare begins. In Rome there are no more laboratories
dealing with the invertible :-( . The only one they suggested to me ("The Color"), treats you only when you have a
request for at least 3 or 4 reels in a month!! I'm thinking of setting aside, for the moment, the dia and to focus
on a b / w of easier treatment ... what a rage!
Good evening to you too, Antonio

Crazy that in Rome there are these problems for the development of the dia... Think that here with me in Alassio, which is a small seaside village in Liguria, I develop the dia in a week.
Anyway a nice roll in BiancoNero and away (even better than the color).
Congratulations again for your Leica M4, really very beautiful!
Ermanno.

Ermanno, after taking a tour on the net, I still found 3 or 4 workshops here in Rome that deal with
slides. They should give me the results between now and tomorrow. Chance wanted me to find my
old laboratory that I used until the end of the 90s and from which I think I have
treated no less than 10,000 dia! He had only changed location :-D !
However, the next round, as you also advised, will be a b /
w.From the results of the dia I hope to make sure of the good functioning of the shutter speeds.
Kind regards, Antonio

Ermanno, I have the results of the slide roll: everything is ok; the times (at least the fast ones), perfect; exposure
(torque times / aperture), nothing to say; precision of the rangefinder, all right; in short, they are very
firm-undone of the M4.
I was not very convinced by the colors of the Velvia. I was too used to the Kodakrome 32 or 64 or the VS
pro-fessional always Kodak.
As already mentioned, the next shots will be in b / w to overcome the problems of the slides that offer you
a few remaining laboratories (some rifling, various specks ...). On the scanned b/w I can intervene more
easily.
We are almost at the end of the week. I wish you to spend it well,
Antonio

Dear Antonvito,
Congratulations for the beautiful collection

Thank you Ermanno for your suggestions.
Next time I will definitely not take the Velvia again and I will head to the Provia
or the Kodak.
Good afternoon to you too,
AntonioP.S. The scans are very nice... they don't look like analog photos :-o ! Congratulations!!

Thanks for the compliments Ben.
For the M4 I think I was very lucky to have found this
example equal to the new.
Have a nice weekend, Antonio

Congratulations, a gem to be enjoyed with tranquility.
For the dia I provided "on my own" with more than acceptable results. It doesn't take much, just a little darkness to unwind the film and rewind it in the "tank".
The fifty-two-year-olds have a charm unknown to certain rampant young people ........
Nostalgia, almost yearning.

Thanks Paul.
I am 81 years old and I have been having fun with this hobby for 60 years. The 60 years of photography I divide into two periods:
a first period of 45 years I was "filming", the second 15 years converted to digital.
I have not regretted the 15 digital years, but every time I grab and use a
film machine I seem to rejuvenate and return to savor old sensations and find
new stimuli.
As a young man I developed and printed the b/w. I have never tried the invertible and I
believe that I will not. I really like the b / w that among other things it is easier to treat and manipulate it.
Many kind regards, Antonio

Thanks Antonio for the compliments!
Let's say that I take care of the scans with passion, I really like the conversion from analog to digital.
I also add that the color printing on chemical paper obtained from the file obtained from the scan is really very nice.
Obviously for chemical printing I rely on a specialized laboratory.
Good evening, Ermanno.
