Better make sure you've got a good anti-halation layer. Too bad it's such a crappy camera; it has some very interesting features.

A bit of a mixed bag. Some black, one grey - but the rest are chrome. Old shot (a couple of years ago) - so there are more - I think 3-4 more M2's. I need to do a reshoot with a new stack - and one body has been painted black in the meantime.
Very expired Pan F - rated at 20-25 is0 (exposure was 20s at f22). I do like M2's.

ORWO 74 Movie stock in PCK developer. This is my favourite screw mount Leica model. The Leica IIIf with its crisply knurled controls. Probably the apex of mechanical camera making. The lens is the Color Skopar 50f2.5 - one of the best lenses you can find for a LTM Leica (or Canon)
By the way, the knurling on the controls are not brutally force fed into the metal (usual form of knurling) - but actually machined in to the brass - classy way of doing it - and complex.

50mm f1.8 Kern Switar on both.

Sadly the only picture of my M8 where you can actually see the color of the lens attached ...

Lovely setup, and great comments and insight from Tom, as always. Glad to see this thread reapeared.
