Mike, all one needs is a good quality 35mm camera ( a pre-war Leica is best) and voila! Lovely pictures that would take an expert hours and hours in the darkroom to alter.
I used to have Leica 3G. Post-war but with absolutely superb build quality and incredible lenses. Might take a bit of getting used to after a digital though - but worth the effort. Lots of fun in the darkroom, too.
Mine is a Leica lll built in 1934. And yes the lenses I have are as good as any. I find it’s worth all the fiddle just for the moment when one presses the shutter release......... Absolute perfection!
