Leica LTM Show off your Leica I/II/III/LTM Camera

Leica M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
Thanks!
Yes it´s a pitty, otoh it was a real cheap flea market find (CLA´d it myself and even baked the leatherette back on!) and I guess it´s more of a user now since I wouldn´t take a 50mm out on a rangefinderless body but the 21 is perfect!

regarding the finder, i didn´t think of this before but you´re right! the CV finder won´t mount with the original in place...scewing it off won´t hurt thou and you can´t loose it as a bonus (or even sell it at a ridiculous price at Ebay..look what FSU Leica standard clone finders fetch...oh my!)

oh.. and ash, your black Standard looks wonderfull!! (brassy and all, love it!)

Thanks, I really would like to touch up where there's paint loss, but I'm afraid it'll look worse. I also misplaced my super-small paint brushes! I don't think I'd remove or sell the finder, it's crystal-clear, possibly one of the best assets of the camera. Worse to worst, it'd go on the IIIc!!

If only there were flea markets around here that I could pick up beauties like your standard at!


I'm currently using a 50mm, it's my challenge to get some sharp images with it :D
 
Please do not touch up the paint! you´ll violate human rights with doing this! ;)

I´m so happy to live in vienna where one of the biggest leica dealers worldwide is at home :) hence the Leica-store flea market!

Raid, maybe your Standard is a Ic or something! I just found something at our local auction site...see if your´s looks alike: http://www.westlicht-auction.com/index.php?id=64557&acat=64557&offset=3&_ssl=off
 
Butbutbut I want to restore the camera to a more classy sleek black appearance! the brass really shines!!

Mine has no windows (no finders) at all. Here is a photo of the Standard along side the M3 and M6.

Really, Raid? It would have to be $22,500 cheaper for me to think about it. Nice camera but ouch!

Wadaya mean nice camera .... have you seen how worn out the paint is ... that'd have to be fixed for a start!
