Leica LTM Hiking with my Leica III (F) and Elmar 50/3.5

[Rich Silfver]

When I got my Leica III (F) a few months ago I took it out on a hike with a friend and it may have been the first roll I put through the camera.

All photos were taken with an uncoated Elmar 50/3.5 lens from 1934 and the film was Tri-X 400.

I really like the 50/3.5 Elmar but have yet to warm up to its bigger brother the 90/4 in the same way.

Looks good Rich. The Leica.III's size etc. would seem to make it a welcome choice in the backpack. Certainly no lack of performance in these examples. All look good and I especially like the falls and last photo of the tree tunk.

Really like the waterfall Rich. Is this at the Marin Headlands?

 

[Rich Silfver]

Thanks Jim.
It's at Carson Falls near San Anselmo up in Marin county.

This makes me want an Elmar even more. Great shots.
