Then it is not a v1.Thanks! I love this len’s, too. According to the serial number, it was manufactured in 1970
I think you may have been responding to the wrong post. Mine is a 1970. Ororaro’s post mentioned he had a v1 🙂Then it is not a v1.
Then it is not a v1.
I´m sorry.He was refering to post 8022, which was refering to post 8021 🤸🏼♂️
This image really evokes the romantic notion of Leica film photography.......A lovely link to the past.
M3? Going out on a shoot today with my M3 and a 50mm and a 21mm. Heaven.I've owned M3s, M6s, MPs and M9s. Was looking at an M4 but this came up and struck a deal with the seller. Has to be one of the smoothest operating Ms I've ever owned. So happy the M4 deal fell through.View attachment 4859012

If I didn‘t already have a watch I would probably buy it. It looks good and is pretty unique.Might need this for my next shoot:
