Let's see your Leica M

[ocean7]

The M4 looks nice ! CV Nokton 50/1.5 ?

Thanks. That's an average photo though, you should see it in person

It's the CV 35/1.7 Ultron.

Huubl,

That is a beautiful M4. From the serial number, it looks like production ~1966, just like mine. Yours looks like new.

I'm of two minds about the M3/MP style levers. I thought that would be the way to go for me, but I've changed my mind and will stay with the stock M4 levers. I think they look better. Though, I like the M3/MP wind lever better than the plastic-tipped M4-M7 lever. To each his own.

Hey this is not Huubl's, it's mine! Mine! It's my precious!

As for the levers I am a big fan of the old style M2-M3 levers and the camera came this way so I was in luck. I have nothing against the "new" levers though, it's a question of personnal taste.

Now this is how my Shintaro adventure ended :angel:

Nice jaapv, how long have you had it?

Someone before asked me to post a shot showing the size of the Voigtlander 35mm Nokton, so here is a little pic (top image is the rustic old hood I bought for my 40 summicron of ebay, and bottom is the nokton.)

P.s. A thought just occured to me - there isnt a possiblity that the lens shade shown in the top photo would intrude at all into the summicron 40's field of view is there?

(No... Smeagol wants the Preciousssss...)

Correction duly noted!

Nice jaapv, how long have you had it?

Years and years, but it only returned from the beauty parlor in Japan a few weeks ago.

all you need is a MP and 50mm cron,
the rest can be managed by film...

 

[sepiareverb]

You might try and get a few shots with the 75 cron before you decide- a much newer design, and MP's are going cheap these days.

I just bought my dream lens, a tabbed summicron 50 in chrome! Love this kit so much, better than all my 35mm lenses. The summicron is a love story : I began my journey in RF world with a collapsible summicron...

M3 again. SS. My first Leica was an M3 I bought in 1973. Here she with goggles & a wonderful Summaron 35.

Congrats on the lens. I see you placed the original M4 levers back (well not the rewind lever) and put the chrome washer in place of the black one. Another kind of hybrid

feel me, hear me, see me

Hello HuubL! I replace the old levers just because I thought original looks a bit better. But still I prefer the old style rewind lever and the chrome washer! That lens is heavy and smooth, I like it so much!

Man, that is just about the perfect M!
Very nice.

Thank you Ron!

here is another one

(that lens is so heavy in a good way = better handholdability, that I might need a grip very soon!)

Bought the M6 in 2006 and finally replaced the red dot.





Must admit the pictures are still the same quality, but the camera looks sharper!
