Let's see your Leica M

roundg,

I've been hunting the elusive 2nd version 'cron 35 for two years! How do you find the aperture tab?

Rico,


I got the lens 3 weeks ago in local (Singapore). The previous owner enthusiastically long for a 35 Version 4. He knew selling a Version 2 cheap and get am expensive Version 4 is a guilty, but can't resist the GAS.

Anyway now I am so happy to be the new owner of the lens.

I see even with the new MP, they still haven't improved the black paint since the M6? Is that a bubble I see on the top surface (Below the Leica - L)?

I was wondering the same thing when I saw that, could it be dust, junk, or paint bubbles? Hard to say.

hi, it's not a bubble, it's a dust or something.:D
But I got many bubbles on my R4s:bang:
 
Here`s my 1987 M6 Black Chrome, that`s had a pretty pampered life, covered by black electrical tape most of the time and has only recently had it removed while very soon she will be "traded" for a rare screw mount Leica

My Leica M6 has come *full circle* I traded a very small screw mount collection
(2 mint IIIFST`s and 1 *pretty uncommon and rare* near mint IIFBD with some lenses)
in Frankfurt Germany for her in 1994 and entered the world of M Leica`s, shooting mostly color slide film for cross-processing with it

Now I`m trading her for the start of another screw mount collection, the collecting "bug" has bitten me bad again.......but I`m sure there`s another M Leica in my future, maybe a very beat up orignal M2 Black Paint...

Tom

I'm probably one of the youngest M owners around here at seventeen and I'm so overjoyed having worked hard on the streets (literally for the most part) to be able to present my camera finally in a form I'm truly happy with.
I don't have the income or money (anymore) to support any GAS and as such I hope to avoid such an illness for a few years at least.
I also fear I'm one of the last generations to get into film photography and all the joy that the darkroom brings but I sure am happy I didn't miss the boat.

Looks like a draft horse to me!:D

I do like the black chrome once it gets 'broken in', and this one is beautiful.

Leicas are meant to be used, not fondled.

Just thinking to day that my m7's are finally beginning to show a little bit of use on their chrome. I guess I'm finally starting to shoot enough!

You're a bad ass when it comes to your gear, we know. However what we're all interested in is how your Leica looks at a 46deg angle facing the 7pm summer sun?
