Sam M Posted May 16, 2017 Share #1 Â Posted May 16, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can anyone guess what it was? Some would say it was quite a traditional rangefinder subject... Â One should always remember their first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted May 16, 2017 Share #3 Â Posted May 16, 2017 A picture in BW during a mountain hike :Â two friends on a glacier, June 1975 (18 years old... Â ) , brand new Zorki4K with Helios 50mm f2, yellow filter. iirc Ilford PAN FÂ 50 ASA. The same year , 1 month about before, handled the Leica (IIIc ?) of the father of a friend, but I seem that didn't take any picture (was at home), but decided that RF was definitely OK.. and soon after proudly bought my Zorky at 15.000 Italian Liras... Â (135mm Jupiter 11 followed 2 months after, used, and MY IIIc arrived 6 years after) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I have come to the M10 from a Leica Q so a bit of a learning curve ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef63 Posted May 17, 2017 Share #8  Posted May 17, 2017 Nov 22nd 2009.  M9 with Summicron 90 Apo  Subject was one of the last roses in my garden.  Totally out of focus.  Only weeks later I learned that the OOF was not user error but the RF of my brand new M9 was way off.  Camera came back from a seemingly interminable journey to the factory with a spot on RF.  Spring was already in the air at the time I could start enjoying my first rangefinder.
