Incredibly nice shots you have here.
OK, here is a quick shot of my beauties:

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....

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!
