What body do you use? M / LTM

[raid]

The M8 and M9 use M lenses, so they are M cameras, I guess.

Leica M6. Occasionally, a IIIF with the Heliar 15mm on it.

LTM because the price of admission is lower. Plus, more variety in manufacturers.

Not that I don't aspire to getting an M kit some day.

I voted for M because I have used M1 and M6 Leicas.

Does "LTM" stand for Leica Thread Mount?

 

[Bingley]

I have and use both M and LTM bodies, but I probably use the LTM more.

Yep it does.

M, I use a CLE plus some ltm lenses with adapter and an M Summicron-C

I generally use my body. I'd love to use that handsome twenty year old swimmer's body, but he's not loaning it out.

Oh .... camera body. Oops. I have Ms. 🙂

I use my M2 constantly and my LTM Leotax F just occasionally. I do need to use the Leotax more, it's a great Leica copy, no special features other than its superb Topcor 50mmF2

LTM - IIIf and IIIg. I have an M2-R in my desk drawer but I haven't used it in several years.

Canon RF bodies...1VSB2, 11D2 and a 11S2 .

I like to shoot with my IIIc and my Leica II but, most of my film photos have come from a M3, M4 or M6.

I use my M bodies most of the time; but I take the LTMs when I want extreme compactness.

Interesting - why do you stick to LTM?

I don't have a Leica M so I have no choice. I shoot a IIIf alternately with a Bessa-R depending on mood and circumstance. And I have resisted getting a Leica M . . . I'm not sure I have a good reason for that.

Hi everybody!

This is my first post and recently
got a black Leica II w/uncoated Elmar.
A must have for me is the separate Leitz
5cm finder. It's 1:1 life size with frame
so you can judge action. Always in the pocket!

Best, Rich

I like to change my camera every time I need to reload. Leica I, II, III, IIIc, M2, M3, M5 and MP and Nikon S2.

Mostly Minolta CLE, M2, M5, M6 but also a IIIg with collapsible 50 Summicron. I just use each camera for a specific lens:

• IIIg: 50mm Summicron
• CLE: 25mm Zeiss f2.8
• M2: 50mm Summicron-M, Version 3
• M5: 35mm Summarit f2.5
• M6: 75mm Summarit f2.5

Expensive, yes, but I just sold some higher-end guitars and amps to pay for it all. And the M2 and IIIg help me guesstimate light values that I can check against a Gossen DigiSix.

I carry the M2 in my briefcase everyday to work.
