The frame counter reset on my Leica MP recently broke, so I took it to Samy’s Cam­era, the store I bought it from. I was afraid they’d tell me I had to send it back to Leica for repair (the last time I dealt with Leica it took them six months to repair a dam­aged lens), but for­tu­nately they told me it could be repaired in the store. To my sur­prise, it took only four days for them to fin­ish the work!

A few weeks ago I learned about Kodak’s new C-41 film, Ektar 100. It’s out now–Samy’s in LA had a big pile of it. I bought a cou­ple of rolls to try out.
