Let's see your Leica M

My super-clean M4-2 with the Zeiss Biogon 35mm. Probably should’ve put the Leica 90mm on it for the photo. I like the very clean viewfinder frame lines of this camera, compared to busier later Leica M bodies.View attachment 4817098

BTW, Gordon: Which meter are you using in this photo? I have an MR-4 and one of the Voigtländer Meter II ... I use the Voigtlander mostly on the M4-2. The one you're using looks different from a couple others I've seen. Thx!

That’s the Doomo Meter S. I have a silver finish one on my Nikon S3 2000. USB-C rechargeable. Reasonably accurate.

Just a photo from the other day (taken with my X-Pro 1 w/ 23mm f/2). The Leica is an M4 from the first batch in 1967. The only Leica (Leitz) lens I have for it is a 1957 DR 5 cm Summicron but it was sitting on my Fuji XE-3.

The other two cameras are my old Minolta 7sII with a stuck aperture. Second time over the 40+ years I've owned it. On the other side is my old Yashica J, my first real camera and the one I used in my high school photo classes all those years ago.

Well, the Woodstock is, of course the most famous collectible from the music festival. How I got it and 7 other guys into my old MG, I'll never know...

Or, I bought it at a local used furniture store 20 years ago for about $20. Liked the name, price, design, etc. Plus, I took a typing class in college. Recollection is it's from sometime in the 1930's and still works though it could use a new ribbon. 🙂
