I received my M2 through the post today and i've run a test roll though it and all speeds and mechanics are working as they should. the camera looks like it's barely knocking on for 5 years own let alone 50!

Well i've just scanned some of the negs that i shot this evening - the Industar i think is very mis-matched and i can't wait to get some Leitz glass on the front of this camera, but it surved it's purpose (no post processing):

Nice camera Nathan. Time to save up for some Leitz glass now
Just curious, what are you scanning your negs with? The quality of the scans is really good

I have an Epson Perfection V200 Photo flatbed scanner, it didn't cost the earth but has great resolution. it's no speed machine and it takes a good 10-15 minutes to scan 6 negs at a resolution that outputs an 800dpi 4000 pixels wide image. i then compress the image in Photoshop as i feel it gives much better results than just scanning to output 300dpi in the first place.
my master plan now is to get hold of a 50mm collapsible Summicron for my 'normal' every day lens.
