  1. Hi, I've only read half this thread but just had confirmation that my new to me black M7, 0.85, will arrive tomorrow with a Summilux 50mm f/1.4 lens. It'll be the third time I've purchased one in the 40 years I've been a Leica user. This week I've read the "I love my M-A" thread and got close to buying one, but knew the M7 0.85 was for me. Some years ago I went to Malta for a week to visit my dear friend Mr Azzopardi and took with me an M7 and an MP. I carried both around the city for two days and then abandoned the MP in my hotel room. It seemed to be a lot slower than the M7 to meter in the variable light and shadow of the narrow streets. I sold the M7 to buy a second MP thinking that was a wise investment. Thanks for all the entertainment on these pages. Here's my last M7:
  2. I've only ever had excellent product out of Japan also, but the Customs duties and courier's clearance charges have always been applied. That means I've paid top book and will not recover the majority of my costs on resale. The M7 has been my favourite user Leica, although it's not the best for stroking. Unfortunately, I had to sell all my Leica film kit because my Leica S 006 took nearly 3 years to find a buyer. Looking for a nice M7 again.
  3. Another fisherman from Valletta. Leica MP and 35mm Summicron. From a visit to meet Azzo.
  4. Thanks for Liking the photo of the fisherman above. Fantastic light in the high sided streets of Valletta. Leica MP. Here's 'The Ministry of Light'.
  5. That’s a great shame, would have been great to visit Germany again and make some more new friends there. Trust you are well.
  6. Stuart, I’d be very interested to know more about your views on other FE lenses. Which ones are special in your opinion ? I’ve only got the 1100mm now for my 203FE after selling the 60-120mm zoom. On the other hand(s) I have a 503Cx with 50mm FLE, 80mm CFe, 180mm CFe and an Hasselblad SWC. I decided to make a digital OR film decision and struggling to sell the Leica S, I started to offload my film equipment. All of the M stuff sold and my 203FE, but when it came to releasing my Imacon 848, I just couldn’t do it and realised what my true love is. When eventually the S kit sold, with massive depreciation, I bought a replacement mint 203FE and ..... an Ebony 617se, plus 4 LF lenses. Now, I’m all 120 film and quietly very pleased. 🙂
  7. Thanks. The Hasselblad 110mm has outlived my Leica S system, which went to a new home last month. Unfortunately, I couldn’t replicate the look of the 110mm film version with the digital sensor. No doubt this was due to the smaller digital sensor receiving light from the centre of the lens. The OOF was present enabling separation, but the 6x6 frame benefits more from the characteristics of the 110mm. Now, I’m back to all-film cameras, apart from an old Canon 50D and a Ricoh GR. the cash has gone to good use. 🙂
  8. Had my S 006 sensor replace last month after 3 years and only 4,000 frames. Leica advised that it would be replaced free of charge as it was less tha 5 years from new. I’d like to know if the new sensor has been re-designed for longer life.
  9. The Pont de Normandie, France. Leica S (006), Super-Elmar-S 24mm Thanks for looking.
  10. You’ll love it, Helged. If you have a car, you’ll find lots to shoot. See my Brittany and Normandy album of Flickr for suggestions, if that’s of interest to you.
  11. Honfleur Lighthouse, Normandy France, 2018 Road Trip (abandoned) Leica S, Summarit-S 35mm.
  12. Sommes Canal, Hauts-de-France. Leica S + Super-Elmar-S 24
  13. I have M lenses, S lenses, Hasselblad lenses and Canon lenses. I need more lenses like I need a hole in the head.
  14. A similar subject in colour. Croft on the Isle of Lewis. Leica S, 24mm Super=Elmar-S Gary
