In your bag No: 1395, Paul
Paul here is from London, and he shares with us some of the gear he likes to take out when he shoots the streets of London. Including a rather interesting book that looks a little out of place. I wonder why…

My name’s Paul and I’m from London. I shoot mostly street photography. 

Just over a month ago, I took my foray into film by purchasing the Leica M3 to accompany my digital M-P 240. 

Well … after developing my first few rolls, I just couldn’t stop there and picked up a medium format camera. And then another one. 

I’ve also taken up making my own prints, having set up a darkroom in a spare room. This has taken my newfound appreciation for film to another level and I’m excited about the possibilities which lay ahead. 

I have the Billingham Hadley – Small, which will accommodate any two of my cameras at a time. I’ll usually take one compact, and one medium format with me on any given day. 

* Leica M3 + 28mm Elmarit 2.8 (newly released version) 

* Leica M-P 240 + 50mm Summilux 1.4

* Rolleiflex 3.5F – Planar

* Hasselblad 500c/m + 80mm CF T*

I’m thinking about visiting Tokyo within the next few weeks, where I intend to pick up a Contax T2 (or T3), which you’ve often spoken so highly of. Your website will prove to be an invaluable resource on my travels no doubt.

Thanks!
