Leica M8 or Fuji X pro1?

I'm left eye dominant as well, but quit changing the subject and post up some pics!

I love street photography, but I prefer 6*6

I have been using Leica M8 for many years and one thing that attracts me the most is its 3 dimensional look in the images. With such a low M8 second hand price now i think it's a no-brainer if you can afford Leica optics.

If you can't afford the Leica lenses, the Voigtlander and Zeiss ones are very competent.

I recommend buying secondhand Leica glass, you can experiment and you won't lose a penny, I sold 4 lenses last year all less than 12 m of ownership and all made something on them. If you buy right Leica glass is worth more than money in the bank

Did you shoot this in JPG or DNG? The composition is great!

You are very lucky as I see the second hand price actually went down since early this year. I have no plan to sell my lenses though

Your photos look very nice and they are not too contrasty. How do you convert your images into B&W?

Thanks, I use the Alienskin Exposure plugin for Photoshop/Lightroom.
