Let's see your Leica M

Small world, Chris. :) I'll say Hi next time I get a chance to pop into the shop.

It does the job well, and feels better than a Leica grip. (Even more so now the s/h price of M grips seems to have doubled!)
 
Yeh I bought it only for sizing up for a home made grip that Im still in the process of making. We have an M grip at work which I like from the shape but its plastic and just puts me right off.
Yes would be nice to match a face to a name. I have probably served you a few times if you've been in for Leica bits
 
Vobluda - the filter acts as a see-through lens cap :D it gets removed in use, but just in case I forget to remove it, I don't get a blank frame (just a bit of flare lol)

Really must get a proper cap so I can carry the camera round in the sun without having to hold my hand over the lens :rolleyes:

Beano_z - just need the flux capacitor to generate the 1.21 gigawatts :D if I suddenly start posting 1950's looking pics on ortho film, you'll know I figured it out lol

the other option would be just not to put it face-up on a table at noon with a fast lens wide-open and the focus set somewhere around infinity. or carry it on your back like that while cycling (which happened to a friend of mine :D ). otherwise you should be fine, it's not like simple daylight is going to destroy your shutter cloth, just very strong direct light like the sun's bundled with the focus point on the cloth, which is rather hard to achieve except you're really going for it. my M lenses never wear a lenscap unless they're in the bag or drawer at home and I never burned anything or anyone by accident.

I have lit cigarettes with my 1.2/35 at f1.2 though (on purpose that is). try that at f22 or f4 even, might take a while. :D

Please excuse low-res iPhone pic but I'm sure you can see past the lack of focus :lol:

An Expensive Lunch Break

An Expensive Lunch Break

I went out to lunch on Friday and came back to the office with an M2. I have always wanted one of these. Aside from replacing the vulcanite, the body is in really nice condition. I have it loaded with Ilford Delta 400 for a test roll.
