The disease is spreading 😀
I just spoke on the phone with a friend, who this afternoon went to check out an M2 kit with a seller I found and told him about it.
He got it for 500 Euros 🙂
A nice M2 with serial in the 1.09x.xxx range and an Elmar 50/2.8. Not much of a lens, but the price was right. I wasn't interested in the camera myself (already have one M2), and thought maybe the seller would have something else I'd be interested in....
Anyway, all of my shutterbug friends seem to be inclined lately to check out Leicas themselves, ever since they saw some of my Leica shots - and after handling my M2...
The friend who got this one was actually looking for an M6 (he likes the idea of integrated light meter), but the price for this kit was OK - the camera even has the original "L" seal above the bayonet mount....
Too bad about the lens, although I told him to put a Jupiter 8 on, and try that for size. Unfortunately, he doesn't have an LTM adapter.
BTW, anyone have an extra LTM-M adapter for 50mm lens that they'd sell reasonably?
I already promised I'd lend him my 35/1.7 Ultron for a trial run, since he intends to get a 'cron 35/2. I suggested the Ultron might be another possibility.
And since we don't use all of our lenses all of the time, the result is that we have a kind of lens/camera pool, and it's easy to borrow a lens or a body for a few days.... I might let him try also the collapsible 'cron I have...
A Dark Side collective 😉
As I said above, I'm looking for another 50mm LTM adapter.....
Regards,
Denis
