earleygallery Posted January 16, 2007 Share #3 Posted January 16, 2007 Wow, a lot has happened this afternoon! The Barnack Bar has opened and now this, which is great. There's a growing number of LTM/Barnack users on the forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elansprint72 Posted January 16, 2007 Share #5 Posted January 16, 2007 Don't remember being asked about this but, no worries, I can cope. Where is the cars Forum that we did vote for? I'd be much more happy if you gave the M8 dudes a separate forum, then I would not have to read about all the crap they are wading through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki Posted January 16, 2007 Share #6 Posted January 16, 2007 I have several old leicas with accessories that my father brought from Germany after the war. I know they are dated from the thirties and forties. I have many lenses and automatic winders and filters. One particular camera has an inscription "Luftwaffe eigentum". I think it is a military camera. I know it authentic since it has been in my family for over 60 years. I also have several robots which I think were gun cameras. They take pictures as fast as you push the shutter. Any one have any info if I get you the serial numbers I also would like to refurbish these camera since they have been sitting in my closet for many decades.

cardinal Posted January 17, 2007 Share #10 Posted January 17, 2007 Great!, maybe they will produce a new black screw mount 50 2.8 Elmar lens. They could produce a black paint collaspable 50mm summicron for starters. What do you think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canfred Posted January 17, 2007 Share #11 Posted January 17, 2007 Great!, maybe they will produce a new black screw mount 50 2.8 Elmar lens. They could produce a black paint collaspable 50mm summicron for starters. What do you think? Hi Bill , I think the idea here is to use & or collect old bodies and lenses. While I say this I do have a 50mm Summicron chrome SM it is the current version and even has a sliding hood. This one I use on my IIIG . Some SM lenses where made for the Japan market I think the 35 mm Summicron asph and the 50mm Lux as well. Not particularly valuable but you have new glass on the old body.

k_g_wolf ✝ Posted January 17, 2007 Share #14 Posted January 17, 2007 A great extention to the LEICA Forum, thanks. There should be a lot of interest for the history of LEICA, be it factory or products. But what about a sale/ swap department IN the HISTORICA- Forum ? LEICA should have no interest at all in prohibiting the sale and swap of LTM- gear. Should we have a poll to convince the admin to allow this ? What´s your opinion on this ?
