[daxingwuxiang]

Nanjing, China, Mr. Shen is a great craftsman. Because to understand photography, he even produced a large frame with sandalwood cameras to take pictures, you can say that every piece is fine. Because of his consummate skill, is well known for post-retirement salary Nanjing Museum are willing to ask him specifically responsible for restoration of rare and antique furniture. Fortunately, Mr. Shen are offering free to do their favorite gadgets that we can enjoy the honor of his excellent work.

Mr. Shen is very understanding "of wood properties," he has produced only centuries-old ebony handle. He now needs to handle more and more people, but a good wood on it is less and less frequent cycling to the village he had to go forward, can be lucky enough to receive a ancient sandalwood furniture legs would allow him to excited . In recent years, he produced such as the camera LEICA and ALPA have friends at home and abroad of the handle in use, while those who were invariably praised the subtlety. There are also many people have tried to imitate, but ultimately must be abandoned. Why? Because the hands of kung fu can not, but also because can not afford the kind of painstaking hard work.

Mr. Shen's work each has a slightly different, because he does not rely on mechanical things, all hand-cut polished Ping. In addition, there is a feature of him work is the need to stand operation, he said Station Road, in order to focus on making evenly. If you need to do one day, he will be able to stand up one day. Therefore, only Mr. Shen would really obsessed with Ebony hand-craft person, in order to make sense of this very art-ming, machine handle, he works will become a legend!

I love the weighty feel of the Leica. The Leica quality makes shooting film a lot of fun.

Very nice set. What kind of covering does your M2 '58 have? It looks great, but it is not the original vulcanite.

Erik.

 

[Shac]

Erik - thanks - I like it. Excellent observation - it's an Aki Asahi covering (forget which one) - the original was coming off in big chunks. Not as grippy as the original vulcanite but quite OK (he's great to deal with)

I'm not too proud to admit that I covet your Summicron.

 

[Shac]

Maggio - that's OK, I understand >). It's in great condition - came with the M2 plus a 50 DR and a 90 2.8 at a price I was unable to pass

 

[Erik van Straten]

it's an Aki Asahi covering (forget which one) - the original was coming off in big chunks.

This seems to be the problem with all early M2's. I had a hard job to save the skin of mine.
I know the Aki Asahi coverings quite well, but I've never seen yours.
