They say that great minds think alike. 🙂

I haven't got a hat like the one on the book, it must have been fashionable in the 30s.

Micheal, this would be the exact conversion I want! And the condition😱!!!

Analoged, you can't have it, I think someone else has first refusal but it isn't going anywhere...yet! Have a look in the conversions thread, over the years I've posted quite a few pics there.

Mr Fibble, does you Super Nettel work reliably? It looks very tidy.

this thread is very poisonous
been hoping to own a barnack for the longest time..
black barnack with nickle lens is just so sexy

Mr Fibble, does you Super Nettel work reliably? It looks very tidy.

It does, except that the shutter is capping on 1/1000th of a second. Since that photo was taken I've refilled the engravings of the distance scale and DOF indicator on the focus wheel.
It's fine in operation, but it can be hard to see which aperture you have selected, as the indicator dot moves around with the focus.
I might have my Contax-repairman take a look at it sometime.

Rick, your BP leica is a sexy beast

 

[Mr_Flibble]

The replacement skin on it is a little too thin to my liking though.

I still wish the BP Leica III I bought from someone here on the RFF in 2012 hadn't 'disappeared' in the mail :\

Malcolm, I found it! Haha!
