OK, so i'm sure some of you remember a couple months back when i was supposed to get my friend's M6 after trying to sell off my Canon 5D kit. Well, i was never able to sell the kit, and gave the 6 back to my friend. Last week we ended up hammering out a deal to trade the Canon set up for the M6 and a CV 50mm f1.5 (VM). He ended up not wanting the Canon set up and opted for my Sony NEX-6 get up. A rather lopsided trade with me coming out on top. But that's just the kind of guy he is. He's got an M9-P and a Zeiss Ikon.
So tonight we did the trade, and the M6 is finally, officially mine!
Not the best pics, but here it is. Both the M and the lens have original boxes and all paperwork. Feels good to finally be a Leica owner =o]

My M3 (shot with my M240 & Zeiss 80-200/4)
Thought about recovering it with some nice new leather as I have before with other cameras.
But this looks pretty bad @#$@#

Just back from the Leica meting in SF. Small swap-meet on last sunday. I behaved myself and only bought this. An early M2 #935xxx, shedding vulcanite and very stiff advance (needs a lube job) and the rangefinder illumination window is cracked. Nothing wrong with the curtains and unusually straight body - no dings, no dents and no wear on the back.
The Leicavit MP is like a politicians promise - smooth outside - nothing inside. Might become a "project" for later.
The Fraenkel Gallery had a great Diane Arbus exhibition - bought the book there.

Nice find!
I was really hoping to make the SF gathering, but my schedule didn't allow..
I was just going through some pictures from the Louisville meeting a few years ago. Found the ones of us sitting on the patio at the pub, smoking pipes, drinking beer and fondling cameras.. Good times.

A black paint M3 is not complete without a black paint SBLOO.

... likes film again.
From the kind of gloss (VF and M3) being quite similar I guess original but just a guess ... 😀

you're probably right.
I thought these were never produced in black.
As happens too often (ask my wife 🙂 ), I was wrong:

It's a beauty Erik, and in combination of the black paint M3, they are too PERFEKT to be used actually!
