Had to do a double-take on that first one, David
"Woah, look at that grain!...oh wait"

Another on from the 90mm f/4 on my Leica II

 

[Davidhel]

Yep - made me look twice too!

Especially like that last shot Rick - don't shoot with my 90mm elmar that often...

Leica I/III conversion with uncoated 50mm elmar from around 1930. My favourite combination right now!

I'll have more to post as I just got an adapter to throw my LTM lenses on my M2. Shooting my IIIa with glasses in dim light isn't always fun.

 

[Mr_Flibble]

I find shooting with glasses isn't fun in any condition. I've been stuck with a chalazion in one of my eyelids these past few weeks and it's forcing me to wear my glasses instead of my contacts. Really annoying.

 

[BLKRCAT]

Im in the same boat (sort of). Out of contact lenses and need to order more. The great thing about the M2 is that with a 50mm the framelines are't too badly out of view. Part of the reason why I decided on the adapter in the first place.

Summar (1937) on Kodak Gold 400

Interesting transition of colored circles to "footballs". My Summar is off for cleaning. Looking forward to its return.

Leica II, Prewar Elmar 35mm on 400 ISO Kodak B&W film

Very nice composition and atmosphere!

Very nice composition and atmosphere!

Thanks martinjames! I'ts a bit underexposed but it gives a mystery or dramatic feeling over the picture. The lab messed up the developing of the negatives so this was only one of the best pictures on the roll!
