Leica LTM Post your best snapshot on a Barnack Leica

Leica M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
This one might count, maybe (regarding both the camera type and whatever quickness):

February 2014, Zorki and Jupiter-12 with Kodak Tri-X 400TX at 1/25 sec and f/2.8.
Developed in Calbe R09 1+50, 14min @ 22 degC -> ~17 degC in the room.
 
This one has been a favourite of mine. Shot at Elephanta Island near Bombay in 1972 with a 3g and 5cm Elmar.
A woman had stopped to rest and put down her load. Her unusual posture standing on one leg caught my eye.

This is truly a snapshot. In two ways. "Get icing sugar and vanilla essence. And don't take a camera." So the only one I could was the Leica II with collapsed Elmar. I stopped 8 seconds longer than I should have to get this as I left the hood off for the first one. The supermarket is on the other side of the street.

I have used my IIIc a lot while riding my bike. I wear it on a short strap high on my chest, and I can easily bring it to my eye with one hand while I am passing a subject. It is a perfect camera for this because it is light, and all the controls can be seen from above and adjusted with one hand by feel. I prefocus usually 5m or 10m, and snap once I feel I have hit the critical distance. These shots are all shot while rolling with a jupiter 8.
