An early mechanical flash synch trigger. When the shutter speed dial spins round it touches whatever was attached on top and completes the circuit, or so I understand. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t, I got this one from Meister in Germany so I believe it’s the original paint. It might have been repainted when the conversion was made in-factory in the 1950s though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

caymanlawyer Posted September 17, 2021 Share #54  Posted September 17, 2021 It’s just a normal iiif BD, but it’s my favourite Leica (ahead of an MP, M3 and M6TTL). Perfect size and weight and balance. I prefer using the external viewfinder on this to the 50mm viewfinder in the M3 (but I shoot a lot of 90mm and nothing beats the M3 for that). MP and M6 are for wides. I sometimes hanker after a iiig or iid in black but really I would just end up splitting the use between them. Welcome, dear visitor!

Actually I think the Barnack are perfect for wide lenses..if you put a 21mm or 28mm on it it becomes a point and shoot (and the voigtlander 28/35mm viewfinder is better than M camera 28mm framelines) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! ...and a snap from the first roll I shot with the combo. Film was well out of date, commercially processed and scanned - and not very well at that. Somehow all the images on the roll look like they might have been snapped sometime around the 1950's..... Much as I love the camera I do wish that it had strap-lugs. I use it with a wrist-strap affixed to the tripod-socket but, of course, that makes putting it down flat on its base impossible. Still; first-world problems. Philip.

I've never been in possession of a Summar, that may be next on my list; examples with good glass are hard to find. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
