If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. How long did you have to wait for it to be serviced, Henry? Hopefully not a whole year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ian , Quite long, but you have to be patient with Wetzlar , especially for analog M camera . For me, it's eight months. Impeccable work. The M7 has been refurbished , the rangefinder has been revised, the DX code has been changed , the rewind handle has been changed, the lubrication has been done, etc. If you are interested , I can send you the invoice by PM. Best regards Henry .... and the result with Kodak Portra 400 (dev in Tetenal) and M 90 Macro Elmar + Macro Adapter +Tripod Carbon Gitzo Welcome, dear visitor!

It has the shortest latency, 120 milliseconds from the moment you press the shutter to the moment you take a picture. Some cameras don't keep up and don't shoot right away. This one shoots very quickly. Ten times faster than any other camera, even digital. Best regards Henry For Hari 😃 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a Really Right Stuff (RRS B30 ?) baseplate attachment to shift the tripod mount from the take-up spool side back to the middle centre of the camera so that the camera's weight is now over the top of the tripod/monopod head.

edstock Posted October 7 Share #914 Posted October 7 On all. my trips to Germany and beyond I carried my M7. Street photography and the M7 are made for each other. Architecture, inside and out is made easier with the 7s exposure meter. I did most of my work in the AP mode, why, because it allows me to concentrate on what's in front of me and not worry about shutter/aperture settings. Regarding longevity my M7 was produced in 2002. That's 23 years and counting. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gérard Depardon is right. Best Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted Friday at 08:29 AM Share #917 Posted Friday at 08:29 AM Also my favourite M film camera for all the obvious reasons - I'm sure I've raved about it somewhere in this thread in the past. Mine is in black chrome is working perfectly. I love black chrome and personally don't get the BP & brassing thing. I do have a craving for a second one in chrome. Just thinking ahead, are circuit boards still available? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
