Leica LTM First time with a Barnack

Leica M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
I bought my first Barnack some weeks ago.
A black II with matching Elmar from 1932.

I enjoy shooting with it very much and was sure to have it CLAd in January.
Last week I found a IIIc converted to IIIfBD ST on the official Leica forum,
which will get a complete overhaul and become my shooter.
The II will have to wait for it's treatment but definetly remain in my collection. :)

Here is one from the II, just for fun

Got word from Youxin yesterday, he's shipped out my IIIc Stepper after a CLA and parts swapping. Had it covered in GripTac too.

My 1942 CZJ Sonnars T 50/1.5 and 135/4.0 are jumping up and down on the doormat for it to arrive :p
 
My first time with a Barnack - a 1946 Leica IIIc - was quite a long time ago, but only yesterday I forced myself to scan the negatives, which I'd like to share with you.

andreois,

I really like that last one. The way the sharpness falls off into the distance is great, makes the distance look like a painted theatre backdrape.

Me, I'm still waiting for my Stepper and will make sure I shoot some film once it arrives!

Thanks Johan! I still didn't quite get the hook of the lens (the canon 50/1.8) - sometimes the results are different from what I expected to get, but sometimes - like with this shot - it really sings..

2 Helen & xxlover - Thank you.. I do not visit this park too often since it is on the other side of the town, but every time there seems to bring a nice image.
 
I have enjoyed this thread and I must say that beacuse of this thread and the fact I regret getting rid of my IIIa many yaers ago, as I type a IIIC/IIIFBDST sits across the table next to me, loaded with Ilford HP5. Its been some years since I loaded a leica, either my fingers have got fatter and my eye sight worse or I'm just out of practice
