  1. Hallo Leute, ich will den Filmtransport Drehknopf gegen einen höheren Dreknopf mit mehr gripp wechseln. Dafür will ich auch den Auslöser "verlängern". Den Drehknopf kann man ja recht einfach gegen einen selbstgedrehten Messing oder Alu knopf wechseln, aber hat da jemand Erfahrung mit? Weiß jemand ob es sowas wie die Leica Glocke für Drahtauslöser auch mit direktem Auslöser gibt? Beste Grüße Thomas
  2. My video is based on a Zoom talk which I gave to the Photographic Collectors Club of Great Britain last Sunday. This was a development of an article of mine which had appeared earlier in the magazine of The Leica Society (UK). This traces the fact that the very first Leicas with interchangeable lenses were conversions done in Britain in the late 1920s, even before Leitz/Leica offered the same features on Leicas made in Wetzlar. These used Meyer (German) and Ross and Dallmeyer (both British) lenses. Some of the features of the British conversions were subsequently used by Leitz/Leica. Leica then adopted the wider LTM M39 mount and the British Manufacturers adapted to this with their later production. Some of the images from my talk are below William
  3. Just saw this Nickel Rigid Summar 5cm f2 while browsing for lenses on a shops site, is that front "ring" a hood or part of the lens system?
  4. Does anyone know if there are any LTM versions of the Kodak Aero Ektar 178mm ?
  5. The Elmar 90mm LTM (1956) on Sony APS, @5,6. Slightly cropped at 3:4. Jan
  6. spotted this today, which model is this ?
  7. Hello, Could anyone using CZ Jena Sonnar 50/1.5 share your experience regarding focus shift? I got mine in less perfect condition: stiff focus ring and focus shift, unable to focus at infinity wide open. Use it with Leica LTM to M adapter on M8. I brought it to local repairman, but he could only make the focus ring turns a bit smoother. Thus I am wondering, is focus shift just a "normal" behavior of this lens? Have been digging internet about this issue but seems most people talked about the sonnar ZM version. Thanks.

  10. saw this Very chubby Canadian Silver Summicron LTM today..quite heavy too
  11. Hi there, I've recently come into ownership of a mint Summaron 35mm 2.8 lens. After some quick research I believe it is the original ltm mount. There is no red dot, and the lens focuses down to 1m. It comes with the original caps, bubble and the lens hood. Its in mint condition. I will upload pictures shortly but just wondered in todays market whats a good average price these lenses go for? Thanks Alex
  12. Liebe erfahrene Leica-Freunde, ich besitze ein "älteres" Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f1.5 Objektiv mit Schraubgewinde, welches ich mit einem M-Bajonett-Adapter (ebenfalls von Voigtländer) an meinen analogen und digitalen M-Kameras nutze. Leider hat dieses Objektiv an der digitalen M (240) ein bisschen "Backfocus", die tatsächliche Schärfe-Ebene liegt also weiter hinten als das Schnittbild im Entfernungsmesser. Oder konkret formuliert: wenn ich im Messsucher auf die Augen fokussiere, dann sind auf dem Foto die Augen etwas unscharf, die Schläfen oder Ohren jedoch scharf abgebildet. Nun die Frage an die erfahrenen Leica-Besitzer und -Bastler: Wie kann ich diesen Backfocus am Objektiv korrigieren / justieren? (am Messucher der Kamera liegt es zum Glück nicht, denn andere Objektive fokussieren ja korrekt) Ich bedanke mich sehr herzlich für hilfreiche Tips, Tricks und Hinweise. Christian
  13. Hi. Used a Leitz M39 to Leica m Adapter on my M10 with a summaron 35/2.8 lens. The rangefinder coupling is not working and my M10 terminates the liveview witin seconds and sets back the manual lens selection to ‚auto‘. Does anybody have an explanation/solution? Thx a lot!
  14. this was on Instagram...hilarious.. The "Leica Look"....Industar M39 lens on a TL2..brilliant
  15. Hi there. Couple of days ago I decided to try some LTM glass on my Leica MP and bought a new Fotodiox 50/75 adapter. While it worked perfectly I was surprised and mostly heart broken to see that the mid line of the lens mount had been scratched on my beloved camera which I saved for such a long time to buy. The scratch is superficial as far as I can see and on the 4,5,6 and 7 o'clock directions (The photo which I share on here doesn't do them justice. They are more visible than what looks like here). I didn't have time to develop my film so I cannot say if it damaged the mount on funtional level. But I want to learn your experiences with similar situations if you had any. I read that these things can happen even when you use native lenses on cameras but as far as I know for the last 9 months my Voigtlander 35mm f/2 Ultron didn't damage or let alone scratch the lens mount on my MP. I reattached my Voigtlander after experiencing this situation and shooting another roll of film with it to see if there is any problem. Is there a possibility that I damaged my camera functionally? Can my Voigtlander be attached to the lens mount securely and without further damage either to the lens mount or the lens itself? What are you thoughts on Fotodiox adapters? The adapter that I bought seems that it is made of a material that is not similar to the material that Leica uses on its mount. I would be grateful to read your thoughts. Thanks in advance.
  16. I couldn’t find a place to share and / or discuss LTM lenses only so I’m creating this thread and will be adding pictures here from 1930s Leica lenses (and maybe some more modern LTM lenses). For those of you who also shoot with LTM lenses fell free to contribute to this thread
  17. I'm not sure whether I've had bad luck with getting lenses to fit on cameras, or if this is a common problem with the M system. My first Leica combo was an M3 SS with Summicron 50 V2. Since the body and lens shipped together, there was no problem getting them to mount. Next, I purchased an Ultron 28 f2. The lens fit into the mount, but I couldn't get it to click into place. Took it to a repair shop, and the owner basically got the lens to fit through brute force - said Voigtlander QC wasn't great and that this was basically to be expected. I used the lens like this for a couple of months, but it would often "unclick" itself somehow, so I eventually traded it for a LTM Skopar 28mm. Same thing happened with the first adapter - couldn't get it it to click in place. Went back to the shop, and was given a replacement that 'magically' worked without problems. Recently, I traded the M3 for an M4-P and, lo and behold, neither the adapted Voigtlander nor Summicron will even fit into the mount, let alone click. Thus out of 6 total Lens/body combos (2 bodies and 4 lenses/adapters), 4 have been faulty. I'd simply put it down to a service error or wear and tear, but the fact that this has occurred between unrelated lenses and bodies makes me skeptical. Has anyone had a similar experience? Am I doing something wrong?!
  18. A Pal posted this on Instagram, thought id share it here, love the last sentence > Even after 100 years, cameras haven't made much progress, except for "procedure". もっとも使いにくいライカ』 手元にあるこのカメラは、1928年製のライカB型(本国ドイツでは、Ⅰ型コンパー付という)の後期モデルである。購入した浅草のHカメラの話では、前モデルA型から転用したものではないかとのこと。 オールドカメラには様々な作法があるが、フィルム巻き上げとシャッターチャージが別個になっているこのカメラを使うには、①フィルムを巻き上げる、②距離を設定、③絞りを設定、④レンズ内のシャッターをチャージ、⑤チャージを解除して撮影、という多くの手順を踏む。 露出計がないだけでも大変なのに、楽ちんなデジカメに慣れた我々にはとても厄介なカメラだろう。このB型で唯一誇れるのは、低速シャッタースピードがはじめて使えるようになった点だろう。それにしても、90年以上前に作られたこのカメラでも、今のフィルムでそこそこの写真が撮れる。 100年経っても、「作法」を除けば、カメラはそれほど進歩していない。 
  19. Anyone know what PATT 8665 is ? saw this in an underground shop the other day, phone pic through an old glass cabinet
  20. Hi. I was wondering whether the heads of both are interchangeable, i.e. can you screw the head of Elmar 9cm into the barrel of Wollensak Velostigmat 9cm New York? I have seen one such combo but the optical lens was destroyed so I was unable to test. I know the top of inner barrel should have matching last three digits, but I did not get to check them. My two further questions: are Wollensak Velostigmat 9cm 4.5 lenses RF coupled? And was there ever a E. Leitz New York 9cm Elmar? Thank you for your answers.
  21. What a milestone for Leitz. Their RF system is still in use, Leica is currently the only camera maker in the world that makes rangefinder film cameras. Looking for photos, stories and anecdotes on the first rangefinder Leica II (D) that started its pioneer journey in 1932, ninety years ago to date - paste them here.
  22. Hi everyone, So I've recently gotten back into the M system with an M2, and am looking for some 50mm glass to go with it. I'd really like to go vintage - I used to shoot a V2 Summicron 50 (which I am a total fool for selling) on my M3 and loved the images, but am not sure whether I can spend that amount again. The qualities I love in vintage glass are flares, halation and artistic bokeh, but I'm not looking for anything too soft or glowy - this would be a general carry around lens, so I don't want its character to ever overshadow the content of pictures. In terms of use, I don't only shoot one thing - when I'm in the city I'll shoot street photos, architecture and friends/family. I also like hiking so I do a bit of nature/landscape. At the moment I'm shooting mainly on 500T but plan to get some Double-X in the future as well. For digital I'll be adapting to a Sigma FP. I'm not a fan of lenses that are too big (heavy I don't mind). I recently bought a Canon LTM 50mm 1.4 which ticks most of my boxes, but I find it too big to take around all the time, especially in terms of front diameter (the lens contained fungus that wasn't initially mentioned, so I'm returning it anyway). I've been considering the Nikkor LTM 50mm F2, but from what I've seen it does indeed get quite glowy and is pretty unusable wide open, despite being better than most other lenses from the 40's/50's. Most tests online don't specify the condition of the lens used or the aperture for specific shots though, so it's hard to form an opinion - if anyone has first hand experience with this model then please let me know! For 35mm I'm probably going with the Canon LTM 35mm F2, so that is a pretty good reference of the look I'm going for. Here are some tests for the 35mm F2 that I found online: http://ohm-image.net/opinion/photophile/review-canon-ltm-m39-35-2 http://rangefinderchronicles.blogspot.com/2012/11/leica-iiif-and-canon-35mm-f2-ltm-part-2.html Sorry for the long post - tried to provide as much info as possible but probably ended up rambling a little bit! Thanks in advance.
  23. was browsing imdb and saw this movie and then looked for a bigger image of the poster : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21098850/
  24. I am fortunate enough to have a SBOOI 50 mm Brightline Viewfinder I can attach to the mounting shoe of my Leica III (1933), however I've noticed the framing isn't always accurate(ish) – even taking the parallax lines into account. I know the SBOOI is a much later addition to the Leica line (1951) so probably wasn't intended for a 1933 camera(?) and I've read that there is a mounting shoe height difference between original Leica IIIs and later c/f/g models etc. that can cause discrepancies in framing (more than normal). So my question is: Have you also found that to be the case? If so, what are your methods for adjusting for it (if you do)? Many thanks.
  25. I wonder if anyone out there used Canon 85mm f1.8 LTM on Leica III? I'm thinking of getting this lens but I'm afraid that it might be too fat at its base (probably about 60mm). It looks like the slow shutter dial might be in a way to mount it properly.
