Show me your Leica M

Show me your Leica M

I once had an M3 then later a M2..I can't believe I sold them! I look at pictures of them now and calculate how long it will take before I own another. I remember using them was sooo comfortable. What cameras!
 
I have the summicron-c which is a "clone" of the rokkor and yeah, that's a beautifull small piece of lens. Pics are stunning...

Its fits well your shiny MP ! Enjoy;
 
Just back from mods by DAG. Tweaks include removal of the 75mm and 135mm framelines & replacing the two-piece thumb winder with a single-piece MP-style one.

Leica M6 "Classic" from 1986
Leica grip 14405
Voigtlander 35mm f/1.4 S.C. (single coat)
Voigtlander 28mm Accessory Finder
Abrahamsson Softrelease

If folks wonder about the accessory finder on an M6, it's because I like framing with it - I find the 28mm framelines on the M6 close to the edge, and I like extra view the Voigtlander finder provides around the framelines.

Ooops....just realised I posted a shot of my MP on this thread some time ago. Apologies for the error. I should come here more often! 🙂

The grip came from HK via Ebay if anyone is interested. Looks better than the plastic Leica grip. Works well when I use the Noctilux.
 
I bought an M-Grip to try it out. I mounted it once and immediately disliked it. The Leica is much more comfy as it. The grip has been sitting in my cabinet for over a year now.
 
I want a case for my Leica, but I don't want to have to deal with taking it off every time I finish a roll.

What is a kid to do?

A Luigi case is so sensual to hold and smell that you will forget all about actually shooting the camera and just want to fondle it. So you won't need to take it off! 😉

Saves a ton of film.

I already walk around the house firing the camera off repeatedly.
So I don't think that is a problem for me, in all honesty.

Hi there akptc,

Nice kit you got there!

Since recently I own the same lens, but am left without a suitable hood for it. Can you tell me what brand/model hood this is, it how much of the viewfinder is obstructed by it? Thanks for your time & effort,

Thanks! The hood is from seller heavystar on ebay, I believe it is identical to item # 140235815821 ("Metal Wide Angle 72mm Screw-in Lens Hood"). On my M6, the hood, which is screwed into a thin filter, projects about half way into the bottom edge of the 50mm frameline and covers about 60-65% of the right vertical edge of the frameline.
