Let's see your Leica M

[menos]

Congrats and welcome bibendum!
No need to call a M6 modest - many people had their first Leica be an M6 (same with me).

Just be careful with that lens hunt … RFs are very, very addictive for some ;-)

Ah, a connaisseur 😎 Yeah, the hunt for a suitable lens has started...

Where do you want to start?
35mm - Zeiss 35/2
50mm - New CV 50/1.5

A modern (v4/v5) 50mm Summicron would be a quite comely pairing with your black M6. Should cost about the same price your M6 did.

The M9-P loves the new Nokton 50/1.5:

Thanks for posting--

Thank you Paul.

I lack self control :/

 

[TheGodParticle]

If you've got it, flaunt it, I guess 😀 No film M? 😉

No, no film M

I have a nice Contax AX with a pile of C/Y MM type lenses for my very rare film needs ...

Drool, sigh, swoon over the Glass
Would be hard for me to walk out the Door, trying to Devide what lens to take :bang:..😀

I actually like it ... It doesn't let me get lazy with only one focal length and keeps my perspective running free

Blasphemy but id actually love a 16-90/f1 zoom lens 😀

blasphemy indeed...with ALL that
and One still DESIRES a zoom...😱
though zooming at f1, I'd WANT one too !

 

[TheGodParticle]

That is something isn`t it.
What a nice selection.

Thank you Michael

Thank you! Hopefully the first few rolls will have a little "glow" once I develop them.

A few more lenses and ill have all the toys I wanted to have

Hopefully then I can start taking pictures 😀

It's like a fellow forum members signature reads ->

"After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true." Spock

Dead on, at least in my case 🙄

But really, I travel a lot and id love to have a fast zoom ... atleast in the 16-50 range

The one lens to rule them all

Soooo, did I read somewhere that you're buying the 21SA3.4 again? :angel:

 

[TheGodParticle]

Thank you! Hopefully the first few rolls will have a little "glow" once I develop them.

You've got the best lens for it!

A friend stopped over today with among other goodies his M4-2 ...... couldn't help but take a few snaps to share. What do you think?

 

[MISH]

sorry those pictures are so crappy (guess I should stick with film)aside from the folk art treatment I have never seen a black chrome camera that showed so much wear

IMHO, the ugliest, most hideous hatchet job ever done to a Leica Camera.
😱

Interesting motifs, each to his own taste I guess

Thanks kshapero, menos and furbs. I appreciate the input. The Summicron looks like a good starting point.
