Hamburg with the Monochrom | Dan Bar

Just got back from Hamburg Germany, nice city with terrible winter weather. It was cold and damp which made photography quite a challenge. My fingers froze under the gloves as the MM body is made out of steel. and it felt ice-cold. As a matter of fact i was afraid Leica won’t work but nothing of the kind happened. As a matter of fact i spoke with a Leica salesman later on and he told me he has a client who shoots regularly in Greenland where temperature is -20c and colder ( In Hamburg it was -7c and windy ,so it felt like -10c) yet his MM never stopped working. Good news for those who intend to travel to cold countries. Sometimes i do miss colour so i decided to buy the M9 again. I like the 240 alot but i love the M9 ( but that’s me :) . I got it from Ken Hansen who is a fantastic dealer and a great trusty person. Anyway in Hamburg i still did not have the M9 with me , so i am sending you some more black &white + 35 LUX photos. The MM is such a fantastic camera. BTW the german salesman in Hamburg leica store who listened to my complaint about the red plasticity tendency of the 240, said LEICA received a lot of complaints about it and that they fixsd it 3 weeks ago…..
