  1. [ I did not find a pertinent thread via forum search; if this is a duplicate question, please be so kind to provide a link, otherwise feel free to answer ] What adapters can be reliably used on the M10 for e.g. a classic LTM Elmar 50 mm in your experience? In older threads (pre M10), the three most widely recommended were - Original Leitz (50mm seems to be a bit scarce on the market) - Voigtländer - CameraQuest/ Rayqual (seem unavailable in Europe) The M10 has been reported to be more finicky with regard to 6 bit coding. Is it also more of a diva with regard to adapters? I have read the caveats about collapsing; now I am looking out for an adapter... Thanks, Mathias
  2. Thank you to everyone who took part in last month's 110th Barnack's Monthly theme, which was filled with a wonderful a MAGNIFICENT 1336 pictures and excellent ideas and interpretations of the theme! This is a new record for Barnack's Monthly and beats the old record by more than 330 pictures! Thank you to everyone who helped to make it another successful month by generously posting their pictures and in particular to those people who posted for the first time - I hope you found it an interesting and rewarding experience and I hope it encourages you to share more of your pictures with us! The Barnack's Monthly theme for December 2017 is: Reflection. This month's theme is "Reflection" which is a picture with any type of reflection in it. It could be a reflection from a kettle, or a crystal chandelier, or a freshly washed kitchen floor, or a ballroom floor, or a ballroom mirror, or a bedroom mirror, or a barber's mirror, or a car door, or a windscreen, or a shiny bald head (like mine), or a table knife, or a spoon, or a ladle, or a lady's handbag, or a hand mirror, or a handgun, or a chrome cowling, or a chrome wheel rim, or a chrome hubcap, or a painted hubcap, or a military helmet, or an eye, or an eyepiece, or an eyeglass, or a pair of pince-nez, or a pair of opera glasses, or a milk bottle, or a telescope, or a pair of binoculars, or a camera lens, or a watch face, or a brooch, or a belt buckle, or a street lamp, or a street sign, or it could be reflection on things that could have been done better, or a reflection at a graveside, or a reflection on how lucky we are, or a reflection from a polished table, or a puddle, or a river, or an ocean, or a bridge, or a clock face, or a sundial, or an engagement ring, or a wedding ring, or a friendship ring, or an earring, or a dinner bell, or a silver salver, or a silver sword, or a silver fish, or a silver swordfish, or a silverfish, or a cat's eye, or a catseye, or a catsup bottle, or a wine bottle, or a wine cask, or a hip flask - it's entirely your choice so let your imagination run free! It would be a help if you give your picture a title so to help us understand your point of view but it's not compulsory. Members have asked if we'd very kindly name the camera and lens used - if you can remember - because it's interesting to know but, again, it's not compulsory just helpful. The rules are deliberately loose so go out and shoot with this month's theme in mind or start searching back through those pictures you took oh-so long ago that you'd forgotten about and start posting! It doesn't have to be your best ever shot and it's not a competition so you might surprise the rest of us and yourself - it's just about sharing some pictures, seeing others' take on the topic, and enjoying it! Everybody's welcome to contribute, any interpretation, any number of posts, pictures that have been posted on the forum before, any equipment as long as it and the photo complies with the forum's rules of either camera or lens or both made by Leica. Please post freely - especially newcomers and please remember there's no judging or criticism (good or bad) in this thread. So, if you'd like to show your acknowledgement or appreciation that someone has posted their picture then instead of posting a comment please use the "Thanks" button that you can find at the bottom right of every post. Please post away and I look forward to seeing your interesting interpretations of this month's theme. Note: Moderator Pop has very kindly assembled links to all of the past Barnack's Monthly threads as a single archive that can be found here: Barnack's Monthly Index. Thank you, Pop! Pete
  3. This will be old hat for you, but I can still get carried away by the mechanical wonder of the original curtain shutter and the incremental improvement it underwent. Please be lenient towards a relative newcomer to LTM innards iPhone slow motion of IIIa timing mechanism: http://www.galerie-elsner.de/video/IIIa.MOV [ The video file is 8 MB, so those on a mobile or on a slow internet connection might refrain from clicking the link ] This is from the original German patent published in 1926 (declared valid as of 1924):

The Barnack's Monthly theme for June 2015 is: Odd numbers. This means any picture featuring anything to do with odd numbers. It could be eleven ladies dancing, three French hens, 5 gold rings, a tricycle, Del-boys Robin Reliant, a trifecta at the track, a blue snooker ball, a pawnbroker's sign, a lone gunman, a giraffe 'onesie', three blind mice, a Seven-Eleven store, Friday the Thirteenth, a 21st birthday party, all the threes thirty-three, seventh heaven, 'Revolution Number Nine' by The Beatles, the nine of diamonds, a cat's ninth life, a Cyclops, Number 11 Downing Street, Graham Green's The Thirty-Nine Steps, Channel Nine TV, a singles' bar, 101 Dalmatians, the year 2015, the fifth month, a monocycle, a monopod, a monocle, one-handed, one-sided, oneupmanship, threepenny bits, threefold - it's entirely your choice so let your imagination run free!

The Barnack's Monthly theme for November 2015 is: Through Glass. This means any picture that's taken through glass or with glass in it since light rays will travel through the glass somewhere, but I'm afraid the glass in the lens you're using doesn't count. Perhaps have a look back through your collection or head out for a shoot looking for interesting subjects through glass. The glass in a mirror counts as does someone else's spectacles or monocle, and drinking glasses, glass beads in a chandelier, plate glass shop windows, portholes, crystal balls, sunglasses, car windscreens - it's entirely your choice so let your imagination run free!

  11. I will be away on 1st of January so I am posting January's theme now but please continue to add posts as normal to December's thread until it is closed. Firstly just a short diversion to acknowledge two of your achievements with the Barnack's Monthly series of threads. December 2015 saw the total number of pictures you have posted in Barnack's Monthly pass 20,000! What a marvelous achievement and thank you so much to everyone who has contributed. December 2015 also saw the number of views of Barnack's Monthly threads by forum members and others pass 500,000, which is an astounding achievement that I can scarcely comprehend. Half a million views. I'd never have thought that this was remotely possible when Pete Taylor, Elansprint72, started Barnack's Monthly in October 2008 (I took over in December 2010 when Pete chose to pursue other interests).

This could be New Year's Day, New York, New Zealand, nurseries, nurses, nooses, noises, notches, notes, note-takers, notation, notional, national, natty, netting, neat, nests, narrating, navigating, naval vessels, navel oranges, navy blue, a navy loo, Nubuck shoes, Ninevah, nanny, nits, nitwits, Newtonian Rings, a Newton's cradle, nowadays, new ways, Nero, nearer, nearest, numbers, numchucks, numbskulls, numbness, numpties, nuns, no one, none, noon, nooks and crannies, November, Nylon, nail-on, nails, naked, neighs, nays, names, Nîmes, Nantes, non-toxic, nom-de-plumes, nominal, nomination, Navaho Nation, next in line, Nexus, Noctilux, nocturnes, nincompoops, Nietzsche's features, newspapers, newsprint, newscast, new cast - it's entirely your choice so let your imagination run free! It would be a help if you give your picture a title so to help us understand your point of view but it's not compulsory. Members have asked if we'd very kindly name the camera and lens used - if you can remember - because it's interesting to know but, again, it's not compulsory just helpful. The rules are deliberately loose so go out and shoot with this month's theme in mind or start searching back through those pictures you took oh-so long ago that you'd forgotten about and start posting! It doesn't have to be your best ever shot and it's not a competition so you might surprise the rest of us and yourself - it's just about sharing some pictures, seeing others' take on the topic, and enjoying it! Everybody's welcome to contribute, any interpretation, any number of posts, pictures that have been posted on the forum before, any equipment as long as it and the photo complies with the forum's rules of either camera or lens or both made by Leica. Please post freely - especially newcomers and please remember there's no judging or criticism (good or bad) in this thread. So, if you'd like to show your acknowledgement or appreciation that someone has posted their picture then instead of posting a comment please use the "Thanks" button that you can find at the bottom right of every post. Please post away and I look forward to seeing your interesting interpretations of this month's theme.

The Barnack's Monthly theme for May 2017 is: "Darkness" This month's theme is "Darkness", which could be at night or in low light or a subject in the shadows where the light fears to tread. We did a similar theme four years ago and it was very popular so here's an opportunity to dust off and post those shots again or find others that you've taken in the meantime - it might even be an opportunity to re-work pictures you've taken before with all the knowledge you've gained since.

For those who usually shoot at eye level (like me!) this is an opportunity to pick up your camera and get used to shooting from different angles to see the difference it can make.

So for the Barnack Challenge #30 I have chosen the theme "Autoportrait" The dates are: Taking pictures: June 25th to July 10th Posting pictures: July11th to July 24th Voting: July 25th to August 7th Good luck all! Regards, Christoph As a reminder here the rules: The Barnack Challenge runs four times a year. It is open to all Leica User Forum members. In order to participate you must shoot a roll of film in line with a predefined theme within a defined period using a Screwmount or early fixed-lens Leica. You may use any lens, regardless of age or manufacturer, as long as it is LTM. Select your shot that in your view best matches the theme and post it onto a single thread set up for the purpose by the organiser in the Barnack Challenge Sub Forum. Post-processing of your image should be kept to a minimum - nothing that couldn't be done in a wet darkroom fifty years ago. You may post your image any size within forum rules. The thread will be open for postings but NOT for voting to allow all entries to be posted before voting starts. Your entries are not anonymous; feel free to post camera, lens and film details. Voting will then be opened. Votes may then be cast on the following basis: Three points for best, two points for second and one point for third. Voting runs for two weeks. One vote per member, no voting for your own image. The winner gets the right to set the theme for the next Barnack Challenge. Als der Gewinner der letzten Barnack Challenge, (The Gap of Time / Die Kluft der Zeit) moechte ich hiermit das Thema fuer die naechste Challenge bekanntgeben: "Autoportrait" (Selbstportrait). Die Daten: Zeit zum Photographieren: 25 Juni bis 10 Juli Hochladen des Beitrags: 11 Juli bis 24 Juli Abstimmung: 25 July bis 7 August Viel Spass und Erfolg! Gruss Christoph Zur Erinnerung hier nochmal die Regeln: Die Barnack Challenge findet vier mal im Jahr statt. Jedes Leica User Forum Mitglied ist Teilnahmeberechtigt. Zur Teilnahme muessen Sie einen Film belichten, wobei die Photos dem gestellten Thema entsprechen sollten und innerhalb der angegebenen Zeit enstanden sein muessen. Die Photos muessen mit einer Schraubleica oder einer fruehen Leica mit fest eingebautem Objektive entstanden sein. Alle Objektive mit Schraubanschluss unabhaengig vom Alter oder Hersteller koennen verwendet werden. Waehlen Sie das Photo das Ihrer Meinung nach am besten dem gestellten Thema entspricht und stellen Sie es in den entsprechenden Thread im Barnack Challenge Subforum. Die Bilder sollten nur minimal am Computer manipuliert werden (Post-processing) - nur solche Manipulationen sind zugestanden die auch in einer Dunkelkammer vor 50 Jahren moeglich waren. Sie koennen Ihr Photo in jeder den Forumsregeln entsprechenden Groesse einstellen. Das Abstimmen beginnt nachdem alle Beitraege in einem gegebenen Zeitraum eingestellt sind. Ihre Bilder sind nicht anonym, und sie koennen gerne den Kameratyp, das verwendete Objektiv und Film details angeben. Nachdem der Zeitraum zum hochladen der Bilder abgelaufen ist beginnt die Abstimmung. Jedes Forumsmitglied das abstimmt muss drei Punkte verteilen: Drei Punkte fuer das beste Bild Zwei Punkte fuer das zweitbeste Bild Einen Punkt fuer das drittbeste Bild Jedes Forumsmitglied kann einmal abstimmen, darf jedoch nicht fuer den eigenen Beitrag stimmen. Der Gewinner setzt das Thema fuer die folgende Barnack Challenge.
