Let's see your Leica M

[kiemchacsu]

My Leica M1... Note the cool serial number, the lack of a timer or preview lever. I sent it off for a CLA and added the Leica m6 Rubber Eyepiece on the back for my spectacles. I also added a Leica M3 Glass Pressure plate back door. The Griptack works great in all weather and the Silk Cord strap is extremely comfortable. I have little history on the camera, except that at some point in time, a Leica M4 viewfinder was installed. I also added a quick load kit. Functionally it's my dream camera, next to an MA perhaps. I only have the one lens, so it never comes off.

I understand that M1 has no rangefinder. Do you use scale-focusing with that beautiful 35/2 IV?

The text above says: " .... at some point in time, a Leica M4 viewfinder was installed."

So it is a M1-M4 actually. 🙂

 

[leicamshooter]

Oh yes... the M4 viewfinder was installed at some point. The previous owner said it may have been Leica Argentina?

although all my leicas are precious, i find that i use the m3s and m2 most.
something about the basic design that i find irresistible despite the lack of
framelines or dim viewfinder.

i pair certain lenses to certain bodies, as they are accurately aligned, or simply they look better.

m2 50f1.5 CZOpton Sonnar with Amedeo adapter

Ray,

How do you choose a camera for a shooting session? Depends on the mood may be?
If I were you, I wouldn't know. Really.

I can understand why it's your dream camera.
From the serial number to the being an M-1 with
an M-4 rangefinder.

Congrats on having a very Cool Custom M-1/M-4

This is the level of GAS that makes me look good and SANE in my wife's eyes. I'll be sure to show it to her.

Saddleback Leather? I have the "classic briefcase" that was given as a gift to me from my parents when I graduated school. They didn't have the slim briefcase available at that time, which looks better for daily carry.

 

[mdwsta4]

Yes it is. I have both the slim and the regular in chestnut. The regular was my normal weekend getaway bag and the slim briefcase my daily carry. Although lately I've been using Frost River's carry-on for a weekend bag and a Filson briefcase for daily carry. Guess it depends on my mood.
