Let's see your Leica M

Just rubbing it in your face. :)
This is the one lens I would not be without. Certainly would go nicely with your MP.

Alan, what a beauty. If I had unlimited budget and wanted to get a single body/lens combo, this is probably what I would pick ...

Roland. Thanks

It's between this and the 50 lux for me. I like using both for different looks of course.
 
Here is a pic of my M6 with me at work, within easy reach of course..

This is my M2. The vertical is off in the rangefinder, the bottom three slow speeds are hectic, and sometimes interchangeable, my framelines are a bit faint, and I think the meter is off a couple of stops. The lens is great though, all the others you can work around. Looking forward to my Summarit showing up, unfortunately it's coming via UPS, hopefully they don't rip me off too bad. All I want now is a 35, and an M3. Maybe next year. In the meantime, this is the worst thread ever, also along with the thread showing off LTM's, and the Ikon's. Also all the posts that lead to auctions, and super auctions ( MP-227 anyone, only 20000 plus ).

Nice rig, Jeff! That big white-on-black lettering above the rewind release sure does jump out strongly doesn't it... and the red dot of course. I can see why the original owner chose to cover those. My M2 looks like Mark's just above only it's a button-rewind, so no markings or dot on the front at all. Enjoy! :)
 
Here's my M6 black with Summicron 35mm f/2 ASPH. and winder M.

Colyn, do you actually use the winder or do you just have it for whatever reason? I just can't see how something so large and bulky can be of any use. If you do use it and enjoy it, more power to you, I'm just wondering.

For most of my shooting I don't use it but if I'm shooting action it is very handy.
The main reason I got it was because of the price...$200
 
Other camera systems can have very thin winders. The M winder reminds me of my heavy large motor drive for the original Canon F1.

Here are my Ms...

Here's a pic of my pair of M's before I broke them up, and a solo shot of the black one with black pebble grain cameraleather cover and black dot. Both cameras had the MP finder upgrade and 35/50/90 framelines only. I called them my "M2TTL's" :eek:

Kevin,

How did you black out the writing on the front of the black M6? Paint?

Dave.
