cornellfrancis Posted May 18, 2012 Share #161 Posted May 18, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Holy Moses - you gents have some beautiful M3 cameras!! I've always wanted an M3 - I think that will be my next M camera acquisition. Has anyone had the MP rangefinder upgrade done to their M3? More like I wish I could put the M3 finder in the MP! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenoates Posted May 18, 2012 Share #168 Posted May 18, 2012 Is it me? Or is that hood a little off center. For a moment there you got me worried about the hood. I looked at it and it's aligned. Sent from my Desire HD on Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbretteville Posted May 19, 2012 Share #169 Posted May 19, 2012 Nice one Carl! That Summilux looks great too. Thanks, yes it is a wonderful camera. I had it CLAd by DAG a couple of years ago. The VF is now probably as bright as is was when new and the mechanics are perfect. You can't beat that VF for shooting 50, 90 or a 135. The first version of the 50/1.4 is not as bad as people make it out to be. You can't compare it to the 50/1.4ASPH in terms of sharpness or resolution, but I like it for what it is. The two was purchased as a kit when new and its is kind of nice that they've been kept together through various owners before me. I believe I have the original receipt somewhere. Cheers, Carl 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdsheepdog Posted May 20, 2012 Share #170 Posted May 20, 2012 More like I wish I could put the M3 finder in the MP! I could not agree more! My M3 has been with me for years, and despite a few chips and bangs, works perfectly, and is an inseparable part of me. My lovely new MP is beautiful, and the older and wiser camera plays well with the young pup, although they do squabble occasionally as to who gets what film. I guess I will have to wait fifty years to find out if the MP really is as well built as the M3. By then of course, the M3 will be 100 years old, and probably still working perfectly, being looked at by my great grand children. For years, I never really understood the DoF indicator in the M3 finder. Now I miss it in the MP. The MP finder is good, great even, beyond comparison, unless you are comparing it to the M3. I heard a quote that I can only agree with totally: "The M3 Leica is not just the best 35 mm camera that has ever been made, it is the best 35 mm camera that ever will be made!" 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharyngula Posted May 24, 2012 Share #171 Posted May 24, 2012 My M3 DS from 1955 - paired with a more recent Cron. Been thinking of picking up something perhaps more age appropriate for the old girl.

philipus Posted May 24, 2012 Share #172 Posted May 24, 2012 Lovely photo. That Summicron looks great. What are you considering, a 50mm or something different? If 50, can I suggest a Summarit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharyngula Posted May 24, 2012 Share #173 Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Lovely photo. That Summicron looks great. What are you considering, a 50mm or something different? If 50, can I suggest a Summarit? Yes, definitely a 50 and thank you for the suggestion. I was thinking of a lens from the M3 era like a collapsible or rigid Summicron, a DR or maybe even the Elmar-M f3.5 - something with a noticeably different signature than my existing Summicron 50 (which often lives on my MP) and that looks more at home on the M3. I'm leading toward a collapsible because there are times when I'd also like something more compact. Edited May 24, 2012 by pharyngula Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
