I was adviced to try this forum out by the guy I got my Leica from. About three weeks ago I saw an ad here in Norway at a local photo forum from this guy selling a Leica M6, a Zeiss Planar 50mm (ZM?) and a Coolscan LS-50 for - guess how much? Less than a $1000! He wanted to sell it to someone under 20, and tada! - There I was! Since I was away on a school trip, he held it for me for all those weeks, and today I met with him and picked it up.

It is sooooo nice! I can't wait to scan my first roll. Now I need to find some B&W film... That's not so easy here in Scandinavia. Anyone know where I could try?
 
And they say film isn't dead! 🙂

Congratulations on your cool, bargain deal. And good luck on your hunt for film. I live in New Jersey where it is still easy to find. B&H and Adorama just across the bridge, not to mention the Web everywhere.

Svein Jarle(wordpress) sold you all that for under 1000$ wtf?? He he. Congratulations. All his stuff was in super shape as well. Try www.farvelabben.no. They stock all the films you need.

You know him? 😕 Wow. I think it had something to do with getting rid of the stuff. He had some other stuff there as well, but I think it was sold - he was packing a lot of stuff when I dropped by. At least there was a huuuuuuuuge Leica 50mm lens (Noktolux?). That was going to Japan. A bit heavier then my Zeiss😀

Thanks for the link - just what I needed!
 
Nice deal!

But you can't beat the member on fredmiranda.com who said this morning that he found a DS M3 with Summilux and leather case in a thrift store for... $5! Yes! Five bucks! And the guy is asking if it was a nice deal!

I love finding people on the internet that live like two towns over, small world. hah
 
I'd love to visit Norway sometime, and I'd very much like to see the aurora borealis. And here (northeast US) I think the sun is now pretty well down by that time as well -- or maybe it's just my imagination.

I'm still shaking my head at the M3 SS for $5 -- but then, it's not a single stroke. 🙂
