Just picked up another M :)bang:eek:uch!) this one a M1. I know it doesn't have a rangefinder but just like women I have a weak spot for beauty. It needs to be recovered and I was thinking I could flip it afterwards but I am wondering if it could find a home with me. Anyone out there using their M1 as a point and shoot with an ultra-wide or other purposes?
 
I had an M1. It was a cute camera. I did sell it away.

For a while, it sat with a Visoflex.

It is an odd-ball camera. I wonder why Leitz made it, with parallax correction but no RF.

.....Vick
 
I use a dedicated camera for my ultrawide, without the need for RF. But I go for MDa, which even hasn't a VF.
 
I had one in mint condition and sold it off for $850 around 2005 when vickko was still busy bought and sold a lot on *bay .:rolleyes:
 
Got two M1s three years ago, had both CLA'd and sold one. The other one is sitting pretty with a Micro-VisoII + Elmar 135 lenshead, but I still haven't used it once. This thread reminds me that I have some close-up work to do ;)
