Michael Geschlecht Posted November 20, 2017 Share #1061 Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes, Michael, the Leica S1 scanning camera was well ahead of its time in my opinion but I was referring to: "For the image to equal Kodachrome in quality it would require 25 megapixels 16 bits deep." and whether the Kodachrome was in question was 135 format or 6x7 cm (medium) format? Pete. Hello Pete, Sorry that my answer was unclear. The format is 36mm X 36mm Having 5,140 pixels in 36mm by 5,140 pixels in 36mm is just over the resolution of Kodachrome 64. Just as F 2 at 1 second, ISO 100/21 (EV +2) is just under 1 Foot Candle, or is around 10 Lux of illumination.

mikemgb Posted November 20, 2017 Share #1062 Posted November 20, 2017 Leica I abd Leica III with Leica Mug by nattens, auf Flickr I think I need a Leica I, that is a beautiful camera. Are these widely copied or can you be fairly sure you are buying an original? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

willeica Posted November 24, 2017 Share #1066 Posted November 24, 2017 Leica I Model A copies often turn up at Westlicht and sell for good strong prices, but not as much as for originals. I am not sure what the source of these copies is. They don't look like FSU copies. William Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abram Posted November 28, 2017 Share #1069 Posted November 28, 2017 I missed my Barnack I used to have and I decided to buy another! I got a ‘54 IIIf RD ST coming in and I’m going to stick with using 35mm lenses on it for now. I have a Canon 35mm f/2 lens which I use on my M bodies but I’ll need to pick up a viewfinder to use as well. Hooray for Barnacks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The multi focal length VF's are a very poor substitute, even the best of them, the TEWE zoom finder. Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The multi focal length VF's are a very poor substitute, even the best of them, the TEWE zoom finder. Wilson I think there is a clearer one, Wilson, the Zeiss 35 mm finder. (I can't be sure what you mean by "better" in this instance.) And, yes, I used to have a SBLOO. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted November 28, 2017 Share #1072 Posted November 28, 2017 Pete, I went the other way from a Zeiss 35mm finder to the SBLOO. Mind you I think my 35mm Zeiss finder might have been the personal property of Carl Zeiss and very definitely had seen better days. I have the Zeiss 18mm finder and yes it is excellent but no better I think than the SBLOO. It might be more rectilinear, which is a challenge with an 18mm finder (Voigtlander failed the rectilinear test with the 21mm finder that accompanies my 21/f4 Skopar lens) but the Zeiss 18mm bright line does not spring out as well as the SBLOO. I also have the TEWE zoom finder 35-200mm which is good for a multi focal length finder, far better than a VIDOM but still nothing like as good as fixed focal length finders. I still hope to find an 85mm SGOOD to use with my Summarex, at a reasonable price, as they tend to fetch silly money. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abram Posted November 29, 2017 Share #1073 Posted November 29, 2017 Well I thought I was rejoining the Barnack ranks.. The seller on eBay just informed me the camera I just bought and paid for was already sold. That’s unfortunate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson, Funnily enough my SBLOO wasn't new either and had 'earned its badges' so that might account for our differing views (so to speak ). Pete.

The seller on eBay just informed me the camera I just bought and paid for was already sold. That’s unfortunate. Have you got your money back? I hope so. What the seller did is a serious contravention of eBay rules. The item should be removed immediately if sold elsewhere and in theory, cannot be removed after there is a single bid on it.

gyoung Posted December 1, 2017 Share #1076 Posted December 1, 2017 Wilson, Funnily enough my SBLOO wasn't new either and had 'earned its badges' so that might account for our differing views (so to speak ). Pete. My SBLOO has a cracked front element, I filled the crack with varnish and its hardly noticeable in use, paid peanuts for it so worth the slight inconvenience as a 'user' Gerry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunto the Rat Boy Posted December 4, 2017 Share #1077 Posted December 4, 2017 So... I excitedly posted a list of the LTM gear I've just inherited from my father, little thinking that it might be interpreted as an offer for sale! Nor, for that matter, realising that that would have contravened any rules even if I had wanted to sell. Just to clarify: I absolutely do not want to sell my beautiful cameras and lenses; instead, I want to buy a truckload of Tri-X and give up my job. Apologies to anyone who was misled. I was just trying to join in the gear-related fun. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

schattenundlicht Posted December 19, 2017 Share #1079 Posted December 19, 2017 I am eagerly waiting for my II (1932) to return from Vienna with new shutter cloths - they were still light tight but frail and fuzzy, showing dark lines on fast speeds. I hope they get it right. Have fun with your beauty! Mathias Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
