brass synch plugs.

just recieved a set of hand turned brass synch plugs from RFF'er Dave Wilkinson and i wanted to show them off. they look a million times better than the old smokers tooth colored plastic plugs that were on my M3. thanks again Dave !

It is kind of odd that Leitz went to black plastic for the Leicaflex and M4 plugs but stuck it out with the yucky off white for the M3 type synch sockets.

Dang! Wish I had some of those...cool!😎

 

[LChanyungco]

i agree Al. cosmetically speaking the synch plugs are the only thing that doesn't work on the M3. but in terms of function the M3 is perfect. i love it'

..and Dave keep an eye out as Dave might be producing a few more for sale 🙂

Got two free black plastic ones from leica NJ, can't complain

just got two more brass synch plugs from Dave Wilkinson... i think they enhance the look of any Leica or Yashica 😀 much better in every way than the cheap Leica ones even if they are free 🙂

Don't they show scratches? How often do you have to polish them. Who makes a little saddle leather case to keep one in when you're using flash? Are they available in black paint? They'd sure look out of place on a chrome body. 😱

 

[LChanyungco]

well... they are self polishing because of the rubbing motion against your clothing... but i hear this is enhanced if you wear Eton Egyptian cotton shirts. and funny you should ask because i just ordered a one off Bally plug tote. what can i say ? i like brass synch plugs and wanted to let other potential likers know that they exist.

and if you scroll up you'll see that they look great on chrome too 😀

I also have a set from Dave for my chrome M3 w/nickel plugs.
(At least it looks like nickel, may be alum.) I know it sure enhances
the look along w/the softee that Dave supplied. Best money I ever
spent.

EVERYBODY knows that it is wrong, just wrong, to mix gold (or bass) with silver (or chrome). 😱 Where the heck did yo'll get yer fashion sense? You might as well be wearing those stretchy double-knit trousers, complete with snags, and flashy nylon shirts with a goofy looking camera set-up like that. 🙄

p.s. Sorry, LChanyungco... just expressing my humble opinion. No offfense intended. 🙂

Brass ones should be engraved with smiley faces! 🙂 🙂

... or Levi Strauss.

no offense taken, but you ought to know that brass on chrome looks o.k. if i have the three top buttons of my "flashy nylon shirt" open to expose my gold rope and medallion. offsets the brass beautifully. 😀
