Michael Hiles Posted January 5, 2022 Share #742 Posted January 5, 2022 A dual-range Summicron on an M3 is hard to beat, even today. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayD28 Posted January 5, 2022 Share #745 Posted January 5, 2022 That is the exact setup I started with. Have other film M’s, lenses, and a digit, but I use the M3 and DR 50% of the time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted May 20, 2022 Share #746 Posted May 20, 2022 Combo that I must use more 😕. M3 with Summilux 50mm so nice balance, breeze fast focus (long or short throw) and not VF hiding that much with vented screw-in hood Welcome, dear visitor!

Mech-Dragon Posted May 21, 2022 Share #748 Posted May 21, 2022 Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! A few months ago I joined the M3 club! This came from an estate where there was a large collection of cameras. It needed a thorough service: the second curtain had a pinhole, the rangefinder patch was dim, and there is the start of some separation in the viewfinder. But amazingly, the double stroke was still very smooth and most shutter speeds sounded fairly accurate. Camera came with the Summarit (parts only lens), the OTZNO attachment, case, and a Leicameter MR-4. Unfortunately, it's got some nasty meter rash on the top plate: otherwise this camera would be in better condition than normal! The strap lugs look like they never had a split ring through them. It also had this neat tag on the back of it: Adds to the history and charm of this M3. Currently it's at Youxin Ye's place and I expect it to finally come back for its first roll in July. Can't wait to throw my Summicron onto it and view 50mm in full view! 10 3 Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Dear 105012, why do you refer to the Summicron as a type 2a. I inherited my father's 1958 M3 with the same Summicron and other lenses and have understood the SOOIC Summicron f = 5cm 1:2 to be simply referred to as type 2. See Erwin Puts.

Kind regards, Hektor It is my own nomenclature, to separate it from the version of the Type 2 (Type 2b) with redesigned body (dual scale markings, slight coating changes). My preference is for the Type 2a, mainly because I like the single scale and focus distance marks, which have forever disappeared on newer lenses... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My doppel-schnecke Summicron is from the sixties with the later changes to which you refer. Thank-you. I too prefer the earlier lenses as using the depth of field scale is more precise and which is my preferred method of focusing.

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! After being dropped off on March 14th, my M3 DS came back from a CLA! The second curtain was replaced, and a CLA was done. The shutter is nearly silent now. The rangefinder patch was nearly unusable, with the double image being seen only in the brightest of lights. After a simple clean, it's super bright and dead on accurate. Time to use it with one of my absolute favorite 50s, the wonderful LTM Nikkor 5cm 1.4. First time finally using the M3!

It is a good lens on both digital and film. I had used mine on digital exclusively for a couple of years, but when I initially tried it on film, focus was way off. Sent it to DAG and he found a shim missing. Now all is fine and I'm having fun with it on both digital and film. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
