someone told me that i can change the vulcanite.. NO WAY! it's still working fine and it's by far the smoothest m3 i've had.
 
than you guys! i'm really liking the look and feel of a well used camera

Hung: yes, definitely! we have a leica group that meets every thursday. :)
 
Maddoc,

Nice night shooter that you have there! Is that the hood from the Summicron 35mm you have on your Summilux? I have tried this hood on my lens but then I couldn't fit a filter. How do you get around this? Do you see more flare control using this hood?

Cheers,

Simon
 
Simon, thanks !!

That's the hood of a 35/2.0 ASPH mounted on my 35mm Summilux-M pre-ASPH. I glued a rubber o-ring into the hood to hold an E39 UV filter. Cheap and works well, some slight vignetting, though. Flare nearly disappeared using this hood.

The idea is not originally from me, Thomas (thomasw) suggested to try it.

Cheers,

Gabor

flashy indeed ! :D Actually, I like that combination of silver and red. I still have a cover in red from camerleather for an old-style M3 but no M3 to recover ... :eek:
 
finally found a t.a. rapid winder for my bp m2. now the lot is almost complete! now need a scnoo for an early screwmount..

I am trying to figure out if a M7 is really worth it... I fear to face disapointement in term of reliability in the long run which I must say this M4 has proven to be a tank solid picture machine.
