luigi bertolotti Posted January 14, 2015 Share #22 Posted January 14, 2015 Luigi, get a 50mm external VF for your your 111f. It is sooo liberation for that camera, once you have focussed. You can be sure that I have a SBOOI (and VIOOH, and VIDOM, and RASUK... ) ... my problem is that it's 3 years that I don't buy a 35mm film (and a 120 film bought last year took 2 months to reach its 12 exposures on my Rolleiflex...)

Antonio Russell Posted January 17, 2015 Share #24 Posted January 17, 2015 The question is, I read a lot of these forums and have heard and noticed that people talk bout the digital Leicas as not being as compact or bigger than the film versions. A post I read tonight compared it to an M5 in size. However when I look at the specs of all these cameras digital vs film Ms are all virtually identical, with th exception of the M5. Is there something I'm missing? Should I go hold on one in a store to truly understand what I'm missing? Have a look here, the digital Ms are notably larger: Welcome, dear visitor!

NJH Posted January 17, 2015 Share #25 Posted January 17, 2015 I measured mine with calipers, M6 was about 4mm thinner than the M8. The top plate is also a touch shorter you can see the difference above the little rangefinder window but its only a small difference, perhaps 1.5mm or so. Its a noticeable difference in the hands though. What really surprised me was I weighed them all, M6 classic, M7 0.85x and M8. The M7 was the heaviest by some margin a full 80g heavier than my M6.

Doc Henry Posted January 18, 2015 Share #28 Posted January 18, 2015 Quite, it's mostly perception: Leica M6 TTL is 1% (1 mm) narrower and 4% (3 mm) shorter than Leica M9. Leica M6 TTL is 3% (1 mm) thicker than Leica M9. Both Leica M6 TTL and Leica M9 weigh the same (585 grams). Leica M6 TTL dimensions: 138x77x38 mm (camera body only, excluding protrusion) Leica M9 dimensions: 139x80x37 mm (camera body only, excluding protrusion) - See more at: Compare camera dimensions side by side Harold, ... and here in this thread : http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/2836133-post68.html and here: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m7-mp-film-m/345620-i-love-my-m7-4.html Best Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All back in the console days with the likes of the text editor pico. s-a That's a good connection of the dots although I never used elm or any editor originally intended for U*x. For the brief time I managed a MIPS machine under DEC's ULTRIX I cheated by having a window open to my Macintosh where I did text editing. The closest I came to PICO was TECO which only sounded similar! TECO was a text editor which could also be used as a programming tool - a 'write only' language because even just a year after writing a program in TECO I could absolutely not tell what it did. Nobody else could, either. It was the nature of TECO, not me. (Quite case/application specific). dot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
neekon Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share #31 Posted February 8, 2015 A quick update, after going to a couple stores and playing with the M4-P and an M6, i did feel a slight difference in size. I just today however picked up a well used, but still nice looking M6 in black with "Ernst Leitz Wetlar GMBH" on the top plate, did notice with film in it, it feels quite a bit like the M9 and M Monochrom, can't wait to go out and shoot with it.
