I tried to get an a la carte M-A with exactly the look of your M3, but Leica was having none of it, so I had to settle for an off-the-shelf black chrome M-A. Oh, don't throw me in that briar patch; I love the M-A, no matter. Too bad no black paint was available, though. Still, it would have been special to get a "Gary" model. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An M-A with that finish would be terrific. I have a black chrome model as well and can't complain. Still a beautiful camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a beautiful camera. Oh, yes, and then there's the 25th anniversary of the Leica Vienna shop with the Leica Hammertone M-A fitted with an MR-4 meter, also hammertone, and silver Noctilux-M 1:0.95 50mm ASPH. Limited edition, only 25, clocking in at $26,500. With a BC M-A and my silver M3 out of the shop, I've got a couple of work horses, although I really lust after that silver M-A (for backup, ha, ha, ha). Thanks for your awesome Social Landscape Photography website. Edited July 17, 2020 by Ernest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

35mmview Posted July 25, 2020 Share #608 Posted July 25, 2020 I aquired my first M3 last week and can't stop fondling it. The engineering is second to none. The picture shows a couple of other meisterstuck items that please me greatly. Welcome, dear visitor!

Ernest Posted August 3, 2020 Share #610 Posted August 3, 2020 I have an issue focusing current M lenses on my newly overhauled M3 . The rangefinder doesn’t show focusing closer than 3 feet with my Macro–Elmar–M. It’s the same for the APO-Summicron-M 50, the Summilux-M 50 BC, the Summicron-M 35 BC, and the Summaron-M 28. The only lenses that show focusing in the rangefinder for all distances are the Thambar-M, my original DR Summicron, and goggle Summicron 35. I have no problem with any of these lenses on my M-A, so I wonder what the issue is with the M3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nowhereman Posted August 4, 2020 Share #611 Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) @Ernest - not sure I follow. Most M3 cameras (except perhaps the early ones) can be adjusted to focus to 0.7m by straightening an (extra) lever in the throat of the camera that stops the roller arm coming out further, see here — and I believe there is also a thread on this in LUF, but I haven't searched for it. I had it done in Paris at Leica Suffren, while waiting for two minutes: it's such a minor thing that they wouldn't charge for doing it. _________________Frog Leaping photobook Edited August 4, 2020 by Nowhereman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spero pa Posted August 4, 2020 Share #612 Posted August 4, 2020 If you can speak to the Leica service technician, they would be happy to help, my M3 never had that problem although it did have a light leakage problem. Hope you can solve the rangefinder it is well worth it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spero pa Posted August 13, 2020 Share #616 Posted August 13, 2020 Yes I always felt pretty good with the M3 it is a great way to relax and take excellent pics, and the camera will never go out of fashion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do we all seem to collect nice watches and fountain pens to go with our Leica equipment, before I joined this forum I thought it was just me 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we need a 'Show your watches' thread somewhere on the forum. Edited August 25, 2020 by logan2z 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
