I just got me a....

[gavinlg]

Spanking mint m6 classic titanium. Hardly ever used, possibly owned by a collector. It basically doesn't have a scratch on it. I was looking at black m6s but the titanium, when I saw it, was beautiful. Is beautiful.


I bought within a few minutes of seeing it.


Also, purchased a brand new voigtlander 35 2.5 pancake (for the moment) which so far has been excellent. Fantastic quality and super nice pictures.
I also bought an Artisian and artist half case and wrist strip, both of which are absolutely gorgeous


I know this is a collectors sort of camera, but I will be using it. I suspect It may be one of the very few titanium models that will get decent use - I jsut have no reason to put it in a cupboard. It will definetly be interesting to see how it wears.

THis is my first M. I LOVE it so far.

I'm just waiting for a jupiter 8 to pop up (lovely cheap and fast 50) and I think I'll purchase a zeiss M 50 1.4 planar. I'll also get some serenars - 80ish length @ f2 or faster. All I would need then is a 28.


I hope no one is a offended by my mix and match situation, and using a collector camera, but to be honest, it doesn't bother me, the camera will be out doing what it was designed to do.



I'll post up a pic soon for your viewing pleasure
Thanks
Gavin

Let me know where I can get a Zeiss M 50 1.4 Planar!

 

[back alley]

the zm is a 50/2 planar.
don't overlook the 50/1.5 sonnar.

 

[gavinlg]

My mistake - I did mean the 1.5 sonnar

 

[drewbarb]

I'd still love a 1.4 Planar- especially if they could make it the size of the Sonnar, and and as good as the Planar- or the Summilux!

This ...

This ...

... was also my first Leica experience ~ 3 month ago ... 🙂 not titanium but "normal" silver M6 coupled with a Color Skopar 35mm P II and an Artisan halfcase (dark green ...) The halfcase gives a better grip to the camera and is very helpful in winter ....

PS: I forgot to say: Congratulations ! and use your camera a lot ...

That Ti M6 is almost impossible to scratch...use it like any normal camera. A CLA may be in order though...happy shooting!

I think they are an internet outlet only (I may be wrong).
