Men gathering

Leica M6 TTL

Mel and Keith came to Hkg for holidays. Originally, I thought the Rolleiflex is a good camera for Keith but instead he prefers the Leica M6 TTL  35mm camera. As a result, I have decided to swap. This is Keith`s Leica M6 TTL with 50mm lens. Best wishes in his transformation from digital to film. Hope he is happy with his Christmas gift!
