Four steps in Milan, with the Leica M-E
by Bruno Taraffo
Hi Steve, hello everybody!
I’m an Italian man 38 years old regularly reading your beautiful site and, about a year ago, I decided to make myself a gift: a brand new Leica M-E!!
That’s what I call “Love at first sight”, since I simply cannot imagine a more sensual object to take pictures…
I’m not the kind of guy walking around with tripod and filters shooting at silky waters; I like real life and I just try to catch its shades with my own gear and sensibility.
I’m a huge fan of italian photographer Gianni Berengo Gardin and, of course, I go mad for black and white. Nevertheless, since I know life is in colors, sometimes I give them the chance to stay in my pictures…
Recently I spent a few days in Milan in good company: my wife, my Leica and a 35 Summicron Asph, and here you have the results…
I really hope you enjoy my shots and, if you have the time, give a look at my Flickr profile as “Bruno Taraffo”
Best regards, Steve!
Bruno
Very good work Bruno. Bravo.
Ciao

Loved the B&W in particular. Did you feel you were missing anything by going for the M-E rather than the 240? Or was it “just” the cash?!
Yes, John, for sure I’m missing ISO higher than 800… I don’t care for live view and I already have a DSLR with CMOS sensor. I just wanted a camera built only for pictures, without anything else than the base commands. And it costs less…
Thanks, guys!!
beautiful images, beautiful wife, nice camera
The Milan photo con lo sfondo del duomo, more like a view camera on a sturdy tripod. Fantastico!!!
Very nice photos, thanks…
