M9reno Posted August 27, 2015 Share #2 Posted August 27, 2015 I suspect from the viewfinder attachment that he's shooting the landscape in wide angle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) I suspect from the viewfinder attachment that he's shooting the landscape in wide angle. He went away soon after saw him(dunno even if was Italian or not) ... didn't see the camera from front... but from the above enlargment I'd say it could be a CV viewfinder... maybe for the 15... The camera is a M6 by sure (or can be a M7 ?) Edited August 27, 2015 by luigi bertolotti Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted August 28, 2015 Share #4 Posted August 28, 2015 Hello Luigi, If the camera is an M7 wouldn't there be some sort of shadow from the larger shutter speed dial on 1 side of the person's thumb or the other?Also: If you could lighten up the speed setting dial on the back: The dial of the M7 has a compensation section which the dial of the M6 does not. Best Regards, Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted August 30, 2015 Hello Luigi, If you could lighten up the speed setting dial on the back: The dial of the M7 has a compensation section which the dial of the M6 does not. Best Regards, Michael Thanks for this hint, Michael... I didn't think of the question of the back dial... I tried an extreme enlargment and sharpen (the original cut is about 200 pixels wide...) : the dial looks an M6 one, I'd say. Welcome, dear visitor!

colmac Posted September 3, 2015 Share #6 Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Luigi, Strange I should read your post of an analogue Leica in the mountains as a friend just returned from Mont Blanc with a lovely picture of an Italian with his R7 surrounded by mesmerized kids. Seems there are more film Leicas about than one thinks. BTW the camera is a chrome R7 with an Elmarit lens # 2209530 - in case you know him.

robert blu Posted September 3, 2015 Share #7 Posted September 3, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) A couple of years ago, on holiday in Austria I met on the top of a mountain (reached by cable car!) a japans tourist with his wife, both were shooting a Nikon F6, I had my M7 and I and guess we were the only three people shooting film in Austria! So we chatted a little and at the end they said "nice camera" ...with a nod in directions of my wife DSLR... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted October 18, 2015 Re-looking at this topic... (and fresh from some math puzzles... a hobby I practice in boring rainy Sundays...) , the above encounter is a proof of the statistical paradox under which "events with an incredibly low degree of probability do anyway happen sometime during your life". "Given the share of Leica M users, which is the probability that, in an absolutely not crowded and not easy to reach place, one meets another, both in movement, but within a "time window" of 5 minutes around into which both of them do stop ?" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
