Let's see your Leica M

[edodo]

Thanks, this M4 has better look that I imagined! I thought BP M4 were not such collector item because I remember missing one for 1500€ seven years ago, that was not that far away from a regular M6 at the time. But some says it is, maybe not anymore.
It sure is a lot of BP M4 compared to the rare M3 and M2, still they seem to fetch a lot. Don't know now with the M9 and all, but this one got a nice new user!

Hot rod makeover for my M6 today

I knew visiting Leica's shop in Mayfair London last week would have serious repercussions.

oh that is sweet combination!

My M4 which currently is in the classifieds section...............

Ah, another vintage M4; it's good to see an early edition sibling...

(Apologies if I've shown this one before!)

Cheers,

Sweet, indeed. I have to add, as well, that I'm having a lot of fun learning to "see" a 35 mm field of view. I've been a one-trick-pony with the 50 mm for too long.


Cheers,

My M2 + collapsible summicron.

piece of cake . i used the wet method on camera leathers website . this was the second one i have done and the old m6 covering came off very easy . the m2 i did first was a little more labor intensive to remove the old covering but not that bad .

Sweet, an excuse to take some snapshots with my GRD2 for once. (Not getting much use since I picked up the M8, a shame too)

My M8 showing off the Nokton.

M8 enjoying some sun.

Hard to tell from the snaps, but there is a Thumbs up Model 3 mounted as well. Ingenious and indispensable for the monster nokton.

“I beheld the wretch, the miserable monster whom I had created”

It ain't pretty but it does the job !

 

[b.espahbod]

good grief! how many helpers do you bring along on shoots?

Simply add a M-Motor to this setup and Voila! you got the Biggest M setup in universe it can win wrestling championship by beating F6, D3x, 1dsmkiii and even R9DMR

I did on three occasions try to buy used M-Motors, but in each case the battery holder had play in it where it joined the base. I fear this 1.33Kg mass would snap a motor in half

The first few films showed I could not cope with simultaneously composing; estimating the parallax shifts; keeping the camera level and square - thus necessitating the monster you see today.

At least, if it comes down to it, it should swing well and make a good dent in any nighttime attacker's ribs.
