Opinion: Every Photographer Should Spend a Year Shooting Film and Not Editing Their Photos

I completely agree with you that in the age of digital photography and mobile phones, the idea of spending a year on just film is really insane. But on the other side of things, I believe that spending a year working with film is one of the best thing that many photographers can do for themselves and their work. After a year, you return to digital and you’ll realize that you’re a completely different type of shooter and that you as a photographer have changed greatly.

First Impressions: Zenit M Digital Rangefinder Camera

The Zenit M surely and absolutely is not a Leica; I’d instead say that if Voigtlander decided to team up with Leica and make a digital rangefinder camera that Zenit is giving you pretty much what you would get. For those of us who have held and caressed their Leicas with a bit too much affinity, you’ll know the difference on first feel and even a bit on look. But in all seriousness, I think that in a blind test that most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between this and a Leica M9. In fact, that’s what it feels most like.
