earleygallery Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share #863 Posted August 21, 2015 I got a new lens for it, and I haven't had a chance to evaluate the results of using it yet, but it looks good. I'm anticipating using it for real, anyway. Elmar 494 small.jpg xxxx Elmar 498 small.jpg You should be pleased when you see the results, I think they're great lenses with a very nice quality to the images, especially for portraits.

lleo Posted August 25, 2015 Share #868 Posted August 25, 2015 That's very nice and neat. You should look for a crown to fit the trigger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordvik Posted August 25, 2015 Share #869 Posted August 25, 2015 I know. DAG Camera Parts have one for $15.00. Too expensive shipping to Europe for one tiny part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lleo Posted August 27, 2015 Share #870 Posted August 27, 2015 I guess you've checked on the evil bay. Anyway when the amount is quite low, you shouldn't pay customs fees. But better if you find it within Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palaios Posted September 9, 2015 Share #872 Posted September 9, 2015 Hello, I just joined although I have used Leicas on and off for many years. My favorite 35mm camera is Leica #56158, converted in 1932 or '33 to a Model II, equipped with a VIDOM and an 11:00 o'clock nickel 5cm Hektor, #122011; an 11:00 o'clock nickel 3.5cm close focus Elmar (focusing to about 1.75 feet), no serial number; 9cm f4 fat Elmar, no serial number; a 13.5cm f4.5 Elmar, #142742. I also use a IIIb equipped with a 5cm Summarit, an 8.5cm Nikkor, and a 13.5cm Nikkor, and also a 20cm Telyt and 40cm Meyer Tele-Megor mounted on a Visoflex or the earlier PLOOT. I usually develop film in Emofin, originally created by Leica advocate Curt Emmerman in the late twenties and enlarge with a Leitz FILOY. I also use medium and large format cameras.

jaques Posted September 21, 2015 Share #875 Posted September 21, 2015 Jaques... I don't understand which places with those kind of junk sales you all attend. Damn. $5,00. Awesome And great pics. Though that heaps of energy it doesn't work really good to me the energy drink is there for cognitive dissonance- to contemporise the still life genera... yes- and it was actually $5.00AUD which is $3.58USD in todays money! Certianly my greatest ever Leica find- having said that I visited this particular trash market for some 15 years before I found this little Gem Elmar at the bottom of a box of old broken flashes, selenium light meters, plastic junk cameras and other assorted photograhic detritus. It was a rare EUREKA moment! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share #877 Posted September 21, 2015 I'm so glad that I started this thread oh so long ago - 879 posts later and it's still going strong, just like our lovely Barnack cameras! Great to see so much enthusiasm for these superb pieces of engineering and IMHO every Leica fan should own a Barnack to understand the essence of Leica. Keep 'em coming guys! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lleo Posted September 21, 2015 Share #878 Posted September 21, 2015 Well, everybody has his own tastes, but the Barnack is the camera which started it all. And, right because it follows the technic, the tecnology, the projecting, the manifacturing of its era, it is a piece of art. Speaking of airplanes, just to make an example, everybody here probably like the last Airbus 380 or the Boeing 747-800, but how many would love flying the Zeppelin?
