Which LTM Body is this?

What camera is (someone) holding here?

Leica Standard + Summaron 35 + SBLOO probably.

 

[jsrockit]

Doesn't look like a Summaron to me though... it almost looks like the newer Zeiss finder as well. This pic wasn't too long ago...

Strong hints of a Canon 28?

I don't know about the lens, but the man holding the camera isn't Robert Frank, I believe it's Honus (Robert Vincent)...

The Standard has its own, tiny, galilean finder. Also, the rewind knob is thinner than the one on the picture. Looks more like a I(C) with its finder removed. I seriously doubt it's a Leica.

Oops, I thought there was something wrong... my mistake. :bang: 😱

 

[Pickett Wilson]

Looks like a Leica 1 to me.

The lens is not a summaron. The lever is more like a Canon's indeed. Finder could well be a recent Zeiss and the camera might indeed be a I.

Looks like a (nice) Leica I with a Canon 35 or 28 ?

The lettering around the front element does not look like Leitz to me...

 

[jsrockit]

Looks like the same camera in this thread:

I had a hunch it was MikeL's camera. If either of them come across this thread they can probably shed some light on the camera.

That similarity is too striking to be a coincidence. I'd say, the room under the rewind knob is a dead give-away...

Nice set up!

Robert using Mike's "steam-punk" with Canon 28/2.8 and Zeiss finder ?

 

[jsrockit]

I was just curious. It is quite a beautiful camera and I've been jonzing for a rangefinder-less / viewfinder-less Leica for awhile.

I'm thinking Leica Standard, Zeiss 25mm VF (with 28mm framelines), and a Canon 28mm is what this is... but I'm thrown off by the lack of built-in VF on the body.

Reminded me of the Voigtländer finders.

There seems to be only 1 shoe, if that suggests anything.

 

[ItsReallyDarren]

The Zeiss finder on that does give the camera a bigger appearance, I think a Voigtlander 28mm viewfinder would slim the profile down a bit.

 

[jsrockit]

I kind of like the Zeiss finder... plus, if I were to buy a Zeiss finder, then I could use it on my M8.2 with a 21mm lens (which would look good and feel right). I might have to bite this guys rig more or less. Something like a Ic, a 28mm Voigtlander, and the Zeiss or CV VF.
