The MP is gone, but a new (old) F returned today.....the circle of life....goes on...

Love vintage Hifi, too!
Incredibly nice shots you have here.

Thank you, yes it's a bit banged up along the edges. But I bought it to take photographs so I like it looking like that.

Yes, I can understand that.
I bought my M3 also to take fotos, but then it arrived nearly like new from the first owner. 🙂🙁 The Summicron 35mm, which came with it was obviously never used. Maybe not even mounted to the camera. Only the 50mm was.
I am afraid of using it. It would be a pity to give scratches to this old camera. If it would be a new one, i would not care, too. But this one spend 50 years of it's life and I dont want to be the one to scratch it....
So I kept using my old Voigtländer Vitomatic IIICS. 🙂
....and now I am looking for a heavily used Leica, that I wont be afraid of using it.🙂
Kind regards,
Jan.

Not at all, it was sitting on Arizona Sandstone which is very soft.

Rich, I'm sure you mean Summaron 35/3.5. 🙂 The chrome bezel and focus tab are giveaways. Lens code: SOONC-MW. Eyes are required for proper RF convergence.

OOPS I did mean summaron. ! Thanks Rico.
I had just been drooling on ebay over some summicrons so I had summicron on the brain....

GASitis.. finally cured?
Excellent Roland.
I did the same except since all my lenses are screw mount, I put on a 28-90 adaptor on the M3. 50-85 combo. 🙂

My M4 is a bit naked - I'm still waiting for the ltm adapter to arrive before I can shoot it.
You can tell it has seen some action, but that's just the beginning... 🙂

Alex - that M7 + Motor-M + 35 Lux is quite a picture machine!
It is my favorite as well ;-)
A 35 Lux is practically glued to this camera with the motor on or off, as pleases (mostly on) and always pushed TX400 @3200 or Neopan400 @3200 in it.
I love that camera!
