Advertisement Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Hi Philippe D., Take a look here LTM users, its time to stand up and be counted!. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
robert_parker Posted January 17, 2007 Share #22 Posted January 17, 2007 These cameras are great fun ...you just have to remember to focus,,,, I've got a IIIf Red Dial (no d/a) due for a CLA and what I fear is an unused IIIg that I found in the Collins Collection, some time ago. I've got the 21mm VC and 5cm Red Scale Elmar, also a 50mm Summicron from about 1962 and one of the millenium 50mm Summilux This is one of my more art-y shots with the 21mmVC and IIIf Red Dial Welcome, dear visitor!

thomasw_ Posted January 18, 2007 Share #23 Posted January 18, 2007 Thomas, If that's a picture of your III, it's not a IIIc, it is most likely a IIIa or if the top shutter speed is 1/500 a III NF A IIIa IIIb IIIc/f IIIg hehe, i selected the wrong file when i uploaded... :/ here's my IIIc with my summitar: Welcome, dear visitor!

mjflory Posted January 18, 2007 Share #24 Posted January 18, 2007 I bought this IIIf with the 35mm Summaron, which is a little unusual (that it wasn't sold with a "normal" lens, I mean) but ideal for me, as I had no 35mm LTM lens save a Jupiter 12, which wouldn't fit on some other cameras anyway. The rangefinder mirror was fairly dim, so I replaced it with some half-silvered mirror stock from Edmund Scientific. It's not impossible! (There's also a half-silvered gold-tone mirror of almost exactly the right size to be found in old Kodak disc cameras, by the way.) -- Michael Welcome, dear visitor!

wizard Posted January 18, 2007 Share #25 Posted January 18, 2007 This is one of my more art-y shots with the 21mmVC and IIIf Red Dial Hey, Robert, you ARE taking some pain to get a good shot. Burning my car is something I have so far been shying away from. It's not a Renault though... Cheers, Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flatfour Posted January 18, 2007 Share #32 Posted January 18, 2007 This is a great camera to use but you have to think before every picture. Maybe that's a good thing. Welcome, dear visitor!

bill Posted January 18, 2007 Share #34 Posted January 18, 2007 Here a IIIf red scale LOOHN (1954) with Summarit and his hood XOONS, SBOOI viewer and OKARO orange filter Um... I am perfectly happy to be corrected, cos I'm new to this screwthread stuff, but I've got my OKARO on the other rangefinder window. Where I have it, only the rangefinder patch is orange. Where you have it, Philippe as shown in your picture, the whole image is orange. Which is right? Regards, Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjflory Posted January 19, 2007 Share #35 Posted January 19, 2007 Looking at a VC 21 f4 or a VC 35 Nokton. Any experiance with these lens? I used the 21/4 extensively on a trip this summer, mostly photographing gardens and buildings. I liked it very much. Sharp results, very portable, comfortable to use, even rangefinder-coupled (unlike the 25mm lens). Used it on my CL, which it fit very well, but I liked it enough to get a Bessa T for it so I could leave the 40/2 on the CL. -- Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxspbr Posted January 19, 2007 Share #37 Posted January 19, 2007 ...So I use too the LTM. IIc with Summitar 50mm. I have a 135mm, but my heart belongs to the 50mm...
