Let's see your Leica M

[Pirate]

I looked through this whole thread when trying to decide what kind of M to get a few months ago, and figured I'd better contribute!

You went through this whole thread and didn't buy an M3 !!?? ;-)

Trust me. If I trusted myself without a meter I'd have an M3. The M6 looks pretty nice too though.

The M6 is beautiful. I've been thinking of an MP, but I don't know....

I should be studying, here's what I did instead.

That's it, Simon, I'm calling Magnum!

 

[Pirate]

Ok, Simon, Magnum wrote me back. Here's the page you need to read for submitting your portfolio:

http://agency.magnumphotos.com/about/submission

Your stuff will go to the France office.

Make us all proud!

Let's call it the mysterious Leica.. or Leica in a shroud... maybe Leicabokeh? Yeah that will justify using a frame on this blurry sea of apparently metaphoric bliss

Bokeh is overrated kids.

@ Simon, great site with a nice portfolio! I would like to meet you once for a shooting on the street!

 

[Pirate]

Penzes, you should get together with Simon, George, and Martin. I hung out with them for a weekend of shooting around Berlin and it was awesome.

more than 35 between the two instruments....
The MP is gone, but a new (old) F returned today.....the circle of life....goes on...

 

[Penzes]

Congratulation to the F, I would like to see it once my dear old friend!

[Penzes]

Both are used, but not to much. the lens is in great condition, but one of the aperture blades is lose. I'll send it for repair.

so very cool.

 

[Penzes]

Thanks Simon. Wouldn't be possible to shoot together with nice vintage gear, some time, some where?

To me the M3 is not vintage gear but timeless gear.
