Hello John, Do you, by any chance, sometimes use varifocal eyeglass lenses? Best Regards, Michael

Hello John, With multiple cameras also. That is very interesting. You might try my suggestion of a tripod & see if the same "tilt" occurs. It would be interesting to see what, if any, difference there might be. Best Regards, Michael

Hello Stuart, Congratulations. And, the woman in photo #4 is nice also. Best Regards, Michael -
Hello Everybody, Could it be that some of the frame lines in some people's cameras are not properly oriented? I have not noticed this with my M3 of many years, regardless of which lens is being used. Has anyone tried taking photos on a very solid tripod & using a cable release: With frame lines precisely positioned to follow the appropriate horizontal: And then compared that to the resulting images captured? Best Regards, Michael

Lens Hood for 50mm Summicron-M v3 (11817)
Michael Geschlecht replied to LouHamilton23's topic in Leica M Lenses
Hello LouHamilton23, Welcome to the Forum. The bright chrome metal cap you are looking for is 14031. The same metal cap in black is 14122. Earlier versions come with brown Hungarian yak felt liners. Later versions come with red felt liners. Both versions work equally well. The "A42" is the external diameter, in millimeters, of the lens where the cap goes on. "E39" is the diameter of the filter thread in millimeters. These Leitz/Leica "E39" filters have a pitch of 0.5 millimeters. This is written "39 X 0.5" There are a number of Leitz/Leica lenses that take "A42" lens caps & use these "39 X 0.5" E39 filters. Best Regards, Michael -
M series shutter speed dial - setting half stops
Michael Geschlecht replied to }{B's topic in Customer Forum
Hello Everybody, To add to Lars Bergquist's insightful Post about intermediate shutter speeds (Lars unfortunately died a number of years ago.) is this note by me about intermediate speeds with M5's: M5's have a slightly different system where the ONLY intermediate shutter speeds that are NOT usable are the space between the "dot" next to the "30" and the "30". And the space between "1/2 Second" & "1 Second". All other intermediate speeds between "1/2" & "1/1000" on the M5 are usable. The whole speeds such as "1/60" are mechanically visible in the range/viewfinder window. Settings of "1 Second" & longer are also mechanically visible in the range/viewfinder window. The durations visible are for using the light meter to determine exposure times. The actual exposures made at "1 Second" and longer are made by depressing the shutter button with a cable release & estimating the time (Such as "15 FULL Seconds".) and then releasing the cable release. Since the "1 Second" (Yes) and longer exposures of an M5 are all being made in the "B" mode. By the way, The "dot" setting of an M5 is the same accurate "1/50" that the "lightening bolt" "1/50" is on other "M" film cameras. Best Regards, Michael -
