Leica LTM Pre-war Leica glass, show your photos

[Bingley]

I think her fiance would mind...🙂

 

[HuubL]

I was afraid so. Well, in that case, congratulate him with a fiance who matches so well with a classic beauty (Summitar)!

Dave, your shots remind me in a way of some of those pre-war shots by the German masters of the Leica (Dr Paul Wolff for example). Don't know what it is, certainly the buildings are not exactly Weimar republic, but there it is ...

And I must say that the photos in this thread demonstrate what photography is really all about. Just heart warming to look at them.

 

[Davidhel]

Thanks for that - and for the Dr Paul Wolff tip - just been checking out his pics...amazing stuff!

Shot this a couple of weekends back using my IIIc w/90 Elmar from the 30's on Fuji Velvia 100. Other than cropping the colors are how it came off the film.

 

[Bill58]

Really cool capture!

 

[johannielscom]

Nice one, blauvelt!

The Lartigue shot ofcourse comes to mind, and the low contrast, soft colors thing of the uncoated prewar Elmar is sweet!

Euh, isn't the summarit post-war? (well, depends on which war hahaha)

NICE!

Love the pastels and the swirl. That lens is agreeing very well with the nice M3 you got there 😀

 

[Mr_Flibble]

Thanks Johan, the M3 is currently sitting on my desk here at the office 😉

I really enjoyed this thread, thanks all.
It looked to me like the Elmar 3.5 really shines in B&W.
