Lets see your Rangefinders

[Pirate]

The Leica M forum has a thread just for Leica M Rangefinders, so how about a thread for all of our other Rangefinders, M-or not!

I'll have to take some new pics next month, but for now, I have two Rangefinders on-hand:

nice skin on your m3--what is it, if you don't mind telling?

 

[Nick De Marco]

Nice set up pirate
How do you find the Fuji 6x9? I have seen a few at a reasonable price recently and wondered whether it's a good shooter

Find it ... !!!!!

How could you possibly lose it ... look at the size of the thing! 😛


couldn't resist that sorry. 😀

The M3 skin is what came on it. I really don't know how to tell stock skin from aftermarket stuff so I can't tell you anything about it, except it's really nice!

I love the Fuji 6x9!! It's huge, but you get used to it pretty quick, and when you're shooting it, you don't have to look directly at it so it's easier ;-)

for your viewing pleasure...

May god, that is massive... It just looks wrong, but 6x9 negs must be really nice to work with.

 

[Pirate]

yes, I love medium format!!

Texas Leica is BIG.

right now I have "just" Mamiya 6. We seem to get on quite well, but only time will tell, of course 🙂

 

[CSG123]

I don't know, that Mamiya looks like a clown camera...

😉

(private joke between me and Pirate)

 

[Pirate]

Clowns are Cool 😀

 

[Neare]

Stuff the camera, this is the coolest self-timer ever! 😀

Meh, everyone's got one of those.

Holy **** that Fuji is MASSIVE!

Horseman 970 Press

Horseman 970 Press

​

Horseman 970 Press camera. In the process of being restored. New beam splitter fitted, RF calibrated, all lenses calibrated. Leatherette on top to be replaced this weekend.

I have a Mamiya 80/2.8 TLR lens hacked to a lens board, a 105mm Topcor standard and a 150mm Topcor tele with the camera. There is also a hacked Baby-Graflex focusing back with the camera. Takes 6x9 shots on 120-spool roll film.

This is what it can do:

What is that glass on the M3?

What is that glass on the M3?

Looks like a Nokton 1.1 with an ND4 filter on it.

 

[Pirate]

Yep, CV Nokton F/1.1 with NDX8 Three Step filter.

Dude, that Horseman is awesome! I can't wait to get out and start shooting my Press cameras! My 3x4 is ready to go but I'll have to send in my 4x5 to get the Rangefinder calibrated by the guy in Nevada as I think it needs a new cam. Or maybe I can find a lens that'll fit the cam, but I'm not sure how to figure that one out.
