Let's see your Leica M

Nice Kit!

Nice Kit!

I bought all this over the past few weeks. Thinking about swapping the CV 21/4 for a Super Angulon -- someone please stop me! :D

Sorry Giganova, I can't help you.

But you have an awesome kit.

I have an M-2,
the same model Gossen meter
a 50mm Summicron
a 35mm f 3.5 Summaron
and a 21mm f3.4 Super Angulon

I really like the 21mm, 35mm 50mm set up

Enjoy your kit with an SA or without

Giganova, that's a beautiful kit! If you can, have a look into the same generation v1 35/2 - gives you another stop of light and renders as beautifully as the Summaron, being not really larger at the same time (fits beautifully with the rigid Summicron as well).

It's a great kit nonetheless with or without SA.
 
Thanks, David & Dirk! What bothers me about the CV 21/4 is the fact that with the LTM/M adapter, the focus and f-stop are at a 60 degree angle to the right.
 
I wouldn`t stop you for sure, the Super-Angulon-M is a fabulous lens. However, I also had the CV 21/4 in S-mount and that was a very good lens! :)

Looks like the 50 Color Skopar.

It is the 50mm Color Skopar. When I see a relatively new camera like this one, but extremely used, I always want to know by who the camera was used and what kind of pictures were taken with it. There must be thousands of films exposed by this one.

That evil Nikkors aperture ring on the IIIf turns the wrong way! Blasphemy!!!

Now wrap your head around this... the aperture rings on both lenses rotate in the same direction to stop down the aperture!
It had me stumped for a little while too ;)
 
I honestly don't get it! Explain?

On the W-Nikkor 35/1.8, the aperture numbers are on the rotating aperture ring. On the Nikkor-H 50/2, the aperture numbers stay in a fixed position and the ring with the dot on it rotates instead. The result is that both lenses stop down in the same direction, despite the aperture scales appearing to be reversed. Make sense?

aha! Yes it does. Thanks!
