Hi Jaap,

 

Very nice setup. http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/2253499-post33.html

I have similar combinations but noticed three features in yours:

 

• The strap connecting your camera to the Televit handgrip with the connector piece.

• The eyepiece to the left of the Visoflex.

 

Could you please explain those items and possibly point out where to get them?

 

Many thanks.

Thanks, Jeffo. Interesting lens But the format one or two images with a crop is more informative. Let's not drown this this thread in photographs.

[JeffoJeffo]

Thanks Jaap. Will do some crop later as the photos has been downsize too much, many details are lost.

It's a pity, this forum doesn't allow the user to edit posts to fix broken external links.

I inserted the image. OK?

[menos I M6]

Thanks mods - very nice - I have no idea, what happens with flickr, that links break, although clicking the broken link works perfectly fine for the photo (and the photo has been working for a short time ager posting).

Great thread, Jaap. I don't have a chance to post here often, but I have very much enjoyed the "look" of older M lenses on the the Monochrom, finding the tonal rendering appropriate to the subject and the sharpness adequate to the sensor and more approrpiately to the subjects being photographed...the MM thus begins a new journey of rediscovery, at least for me...

 

A couple of samples...

 

Canon 35 mm f/2.8 LTM

 

Leitz Summilux 50 mm f/1/4 v2, E 43

 

Leitz 50 mm f/2 Summicron v2 (Rigid Summicron)

 

Leitz Summicron 90 mm f/2, version 2 (telescoping hood, E48)

Hallo,

Look here: Leica M

[gwelland]

This thread just seems to reinforce my feeling that we're losing something with the optical perfection of the latest nose bleed priced wonder lenses. I see wonderful character here that appeals more to me than nano technology and ultimate resolution.

 

After I've paid for my Monochrom, old glass is all I'll be able to afford so naturally I'm biased!

 

Keep 'em coming.
