Let's see your Leica M

My M6 on holiday in Italy

My M6 on holiday in Italy

My M6 on holiday in Italy, taken with my "other" camera, a 5D. For the M6 i use the Voigtländer 35mm 2.5 mainly, a nice combo if you want to travel light. Meanwhile i got rid of this ugly strap and use UpStrap's for all my cameras...

Attached is my latest aquisition; a Leica MP with a Motor and a Asph 35 mm 2,0. I was not that enthusiastic about the motor, but it makes a lot of sense on such a old fashioned camera, - now in the atomic age. (A mantlepiece-picture of my wife and myself in the backlground there).

How's the colour skopar 35mm do for you steenkamp? Just got my first Leica (an M6 classic ) but no lens and am looking to get exactly that one. Have heard from some its great and others that it vignette's way too much.

Any feedback?

Hello Simon,

i'm more than pleased with this lens. For the money it's a great deal. Below you will some examples shot with this combo on Kodak BW400. So far i didn't notice any vignetting, the lens is super short, absolutely no problem to put the camera with the lens attached into the pocket of your jacket.

have fun, Guido

The small size is perfect for my kind of photography...as is the price!

Thanks for the links to your photographs, it was very helpful to have a look at some images that have been made with this lens. You also have a quality looking website there. Congratulations.

Thanks
Simon
 
Wilt, Mike and Magus,

thanks for your warm welcome.

as I said I showed the beautiful side of my M2. Around the eyepiece and the rewind knob it is really damaged. Nevertheless it is a gorgeous camera.

Facinating to see how each and every photographer solves the task of presenting their beloved cameras. One of the best pictures here is that by Keith Novak. They have some smart photographers down and under.
 
Here is my MP-3 with a 24mm 2.8 asph and alongside is the 50mm 1.4 asph.

Hi Joe, good photo..i know you said in previous post what hood that is on your 50lux, could you state it again?....and secondly, what do you think about the 24? do you need or want an external viewfinder?
 
Rodney,

The hood for the 50mm is the old model XOOIM, just like it vs the one that came with the lens. I just got the 24mm and love it. I do have a viewfinder and the 24mm needs it. I got the voightlander 25mm finder, much cheaper and works just as well.

Man, I hate PBase sometimes. It seems to be rather finicky about when it wants images to be visible, which is really annoying considering that it costs money to use.

I just can't imagine this adorable tool/art work was made more that 40+ years ago!
It is the camera I dream of very recently. I wish to have one.:angel:
