farnz Posted December 16, 2014 Share #21 Â Posted December 16, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Considering a 75 Summilux. Now what can I trade or sell to raise some funds? 35 Summicron v4, 73/1.9 Hektor, children, granny? Â Not sure if I could bring myself to part with the Summicron or the Hektor though. Â Pete.

DigitalHeMan Posted December 16, 2014 Share #22 Â Posted December 16, 2014 Just bought a 90mm Macro Elmar kit for a (very) good price, so I think I am all sorted for 2015. Â Although if I found either a 50mm Elmar-M or an M7 at the right price I might consider them..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

otto.f Posted December 16, 2014 Share #24 Â Posted December 16, 2014 I'm on hold now. Considered a beaueautiful M4-P, limited edition 1913-1983, but I don't believe myself going back to film yet. And if I did, why not 6*6 then, or a Linhof. Have tried a M240 two times now and it is a definite NO, yellow cast not solved, slow start-up, etc. The reason I reconsidered was the M-P, but the M240 is not worth a P version for me. I'm so happy with my equipment now, I'm complete. Maybe a more mint version for my 35 IV if I bump against it, but that's it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way he'll be happier about selling it and 'keeping it in the family', and he'll get the 75 Lux he wants Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted December 16, 2014 Share #27 Â Posted December 16, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Maybe I'll replace the NEX7 as a backup by a T+Viso. I really dislike the Sony files. I cannot think of anything else. Oh yes, and a welcome party for the MM when it returns from Wetzlar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted December 16, 2014 Share #28 Â Posted December 16, 2014 I've already started a dedicated fund for an updated MM. Â I'm still finding my Summilux 75 extremely hard to focus accurately when wide open even after CLA and coding in Wetzlar. I'll not give up on it yet, but if I don't grow to love the lens I might go against my principles (only part with Leica glass to replace it with other Leica glass) and sell it to part fund an updated MM should one appear out of the ether.

jaapv Posted December 17, 2014 Share #29  Posted December 17, 2014 Had almost convinced myself to sort out the cash for a used M E or M9, but since the snow started lying on the sensors...It will probably be a Nikon D750  Gerry  You must like sensor flare...  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gyoung Posted December 27, 2014 Share #31  Posted December 27, 2014 You must like sensor flare...  Not half as much as I 'like' a much depleted bank account and three month trips to Wetzlar every so often to replace faulty sensors... Actually more likely to be an A7, and keep the D7000  Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 29, 2014 Share #32 Â Posted December 29, 2014 Well, a depleted bank account is my natural state, with or without Leica And I confess I have yet to experience a three-month trip to Wetzlar on any of the digital Ms I hve bought over the years. Once, when I had a motherboard problem on one, it took two, but Leica sent me a brand-new loaner... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
