Let's see your Leica M

No wonder they're so hard to find, you have them all!

However the collection is not complete yet, what you see is:
the genuine M-mount is one of the last made in 1968,
the genuine LTM is from 1962,
the convertible (so M/LTM) is from 1960.

All three have the small red dot, the convertible has a feet scale starting with 2'4", the genuine M starts with 28" and the Ltm of course with 3'4".

What is still left:
an early Summaron with a big red dot (might be that the big red dot type combines with different feetscales, but I am not sure yet),
a Summaron with goggles (the M3 type). The type with goggles can be found with early 2'2" feetscale or the later one with 28" feetscale.

It took Shintaro about 5 weeks to do the camera, but for 4 off those I was stuck on a ship so he could have been finished earlier. I was lucky enough to meet up with Shintaro and a few other RFF'rs on Wednesday night...

RFF Tokyo meet up
 
It ain't mine yet, the mailman is gettin' it to me in a week or so. It's got bruises, dents and scrapes. Still runs like clockwork.

My L-Hexanon 35/2.0 will be the dedicated lens for this. And also a 1951 Canon 28/3.5.

looks well-broken in Johan! Got this from Marktplaats?
