Alaska on Film: Kentmere 400 with Leica MP / by Aanarav Sareen

After selling my re-issued M6 last year, I thought I was done with film photography. But then I couldn't resist the Leica MP and ended up buying one. As much as I love my Sony kit, there's just something about shooting with film that draws me in. Part of me wonders if I made the right decision, as I've gone back and forth on whether or not to use Leica multiple times before.

This time around, I'm determined to fully commit to shooting with film. In the past, I would often switch back and forth between digital and film, never fully embracing one or the other. But this time, I'm holding myself accountable by going all in.

I've also been experimenting with different film stocks, something that I never really did before. From black and white to color, from low ISOs to high ISOs - each type of film has its own unique look and feel. It's been so much fun seeing how each roll turns out.

The photos below show a mix of landscapes, portraits, and daily life moments, all captured with the Leica MP, the 35mm f/1.4 steel rim and the Kentmere 400:
