For some reason this is one of my most viewed pictures on flickr. Possibly because of the lens attached.

Aesthetically speaking those Zeiss / Voigtländer lenses with the bright chrome hood bayonet do look well balanced on the chrome bodies - more so than on black bodies unless the hood is attached.
Very versatile fast compact lens the 40 Nokton - it took me a while to get beyond all the internet pros and cons ... and just try one ; glad I did - I really like it.

Usage brassing is near impossible to replicate as it's so irregular. This looks like it's been aged a little. The problem with ageing a repaint is that the brass underneath is always too bright and shiny for the age of the camera that's usually painted ie m2,3 and 4's.
I've only ever seen 2 lenses painted that looked original and they were done by an ex Wetlar employee.
This still looks nice though.
As I'm thinking of repainting mine, I stopped and read this post. Then I saw something out of the corner of my eye, behind you. Some non-descript mountain -- wait a minute, Mt. Everest, and Nuptse.

You mean like this one Nick ;-)

My first digital Leica and I cannot make myself selling it.
It has been my daily user for a few years but sees little actual use now.
My favorite on the M8 sensor has always been the 35 Summilux pre ASPH.

Thanks, I brought it home from a trip to France a few years back. I believe they are not made any longer.

Crazy night in Bangkok , I lost that little rubber plug on my M6ttl (under the film advance lever) and then somehow I ended up with 2 Leica SL's..... I guess you win some and lose some.

If you're lucky you might be able to trade of of those SL's for a new rubber plug for your M6ttl!
I love the wear on your M6 btw. Beautiful.

Mine isn't quite that impressive yet... I'm writing a thesis next year, so hopefully it'll get there

No MP Hammertone owners here? To me, that's the most beautiful finish ever made.
