Thought of Phil. The small object on the center window sill is your basic Mason jar butt-kit. What it lacks in presenting a pleasing appearance, it makes up for in convenience and portability.

Thanks Wayne. I still have profound reservations when I hear the term "butt kit" - I like to think that a "butt" is something that you sit upon... Never having been a smoker I guess I fail to comprehend the utility of them either.

Congratulations! Funnily, I did the same last week, but opted for the 50/1.2 unused. I am still hoping to receive the parcel within this week. Very excited!

Very nice, Mike.   Glad you went back.  Here is what I came up with during our visit...  I believe it was the first exposure, which with the ND filter was about 30 seconds  :)

This is really nice Adam. Really like the symmetry and the motion blurred humans :)

Here's another from the raging snow blizzard from last week (which was 2018, not 2017 per my last post :) )

Your snowstorm series are excellent, Adam. They combine horror, drama and humor all mixed together :D

Edward, Nice !

Did you go black or silver ?

I was really impressed when I picked it and held it for the first time. It felt very substantial and solid. No rattle, nothing moving if not meant to. 

Since I own quite a few of its cousins ( fe2, fm2, fa ) I had expected the feeling in hand to be the same, yet no, this Fm3a fellow does feel like a better, more solid camera. Also feels heavier a bit. But in that good kinda Leica heavy way lol. 

You will love it I am sure. 

Please share your thoughts when you do receive it.

another great image with your Foca Wayne 

I have many french friends who love film still keep this camera

 

Thanks, Henry. I am not sure what it is, but it impresses me that optical considerations/priorities in France may have been slightly different than at Leitz. I do not really prefer one over the other, but do very much enjoy the Bertiot, Angenieux, and now.....Oplar renderings. I will keep the Foca.

 

Best,

 

Wayne

 

Thank you for your comment Wayne

 

Nicely composed, great lines and curves.

 

Thank you Steve. I know you like black and geometric lines :)

A very good picture of this amazing building. The long exposure expands the dimensions, making the picture more lively. I like it a lot!

Thanks! I got a black one in mint condition from the FM buy and sell section. I also ordered a new 50/1.2 (seems to be the best 50 optically). Now you make me even more thrilled about it :)

 

By the way, which lenses would you recommend? I was thinking 28/2.8 and 85/1.4?
