Andy, this looks beautiful with that Vulcanite leatherette - much nicer look, than the regular leatherette (and nicer to use on top).

 

@Ned - you have photographs scanned and online, you did with that Canon .95 ? i would be very interested, what you do with it ;-)

Dirk, I have taken many shots with this combo but not yet scanned... The image from f4 rival my 50 LUX ASPH, as crazy as it may sound. Wide open, there is some magic operating.

As soon as I scan a few, I will let you know. I really like this lens. I'll probably end up choosing this one and only lens for my next trip in order to have a consistent body of work from it.

Can you see anything through the viewfinder with that massive lens (Canon f0.95) on ? Is it rangefinder coupled at all? I too would like to see Canon nocti v Leica Lux (ASPH? or non asph?)

Regards, Lincoln

 

Yes, I see a lot. I only lose 25% of the image, from 3 to 6 o'clock. The patch is 100% clear. This doesn't bother me at all since even the noctilux, the 50 lux asph, 28 cron (and so many others) protrude in the VF.

 

The focus is absolutely perfect, to a hair! I'm very pleased.

That has always been my practice. Weird though, on my Verdigris cameraleather cover for my M3, I put the conditioner on and it is now a dark green. Not sure if that is a permanent change, but the leather is definitely more supple!

 

Dave, that's temporary. Since you're "moisturizing" the leather, it darkens. It will slowly fade to what it was before.

I sold my MP of 9 years. I liked it as my only camera, and for 4-5 years it was my constant companion, but as I started collecting older cameras it felt more and more fraudulent. And then after I got an M7 a couple years ago it didn't get nearly as much use.

This post should be in the 'I don't love my former MP' thread. ;)

My seven year old MP had to go in to customer service due to a stuck frame line display. I'm afraid even my 5 year extended passport won't save me this time, but who knows.

 

...re: "stuck frame line display" - did the camera take some sort of impact at some point?
