Pyrogallol Posted October 22, 2021 Share #83 Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) This morning I used this combination, Leica 111 with 50mm Summar, orange filter and Summar hood. The mount of the hood was damaged and has an empty filter mount glued to the back to make it usable. The Summar is coated front and back. Welcome, dear visitor!

Pyrogallol Posted October 28, 2021 Share #91 Posted October 28, 2021 Just developed a roll of FP4 in this Leica 111. I bought the 28mm Summaron a few weeks ago but had not used it until today.

JeongYeobKim Posted November 27, 2021 Share #93 Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) After almost 30 years, decided to pickup a camera and start shooting. Fortunately, one of my childhood friends sold me this Leica IIIg with a Voigtlander Heliar 50mm f/3.5 101 edition lens. Still need to process my first roll, but with me having to reorientate myself to each step, everything is taking longer! Also, suffering that keen affliction of older men: exhaustive online research 😕 Thanks for allowing me to share--have a Merry Christmas 🎄!!! Welcome, dear visitor!

a.noctilux Posted November 27, 2021 Share #94 Posted November 27, 2021 Welcome here @JeongYeobKim My old dream black paint IIIg 😉. I have two IIIg, I wanted to let one person paint one but never done that. Maybe I will do it one day, I fear loosing the nice original vulcanite, which is the case in your black IIIg, nice job, but for me the 'vulcanite' replacement here is not quite right (this is not to upset you, of course). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, that's interesting. I do know that the prior owner sent the camera away for a repaint, but didn't know that the vulcanite was also redone. Just Googling around for vulcanite info and rather impressed that there are several sites and forum discussions on this topic. Reminds me of the interest around collectible cars and debates over the extent of restoring classic models--make it as new as possible or preserve it as is. Hopefully, when the time comes, I'll get the chance to restore the vulcanite to its more pebble-like surface of the original. (I think it looks better through the contrast of textures!)

Ambro51 Posted November 27, 2021 Share #96 Posted November 27, 2021 I like the covering treatment! Since you’ve done modifications already, why be limited to an original covering? Looks Good, let’s hope it wears well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
qqphot Posted November 29, 2021 Share #97 Posted November 29, 2021 I know that the vulcanite on my IIIg will eventually crack, but I refuse to let it sit unused to protect it. When it inevitably does I'll remove it and use one of the nice reskinning kits and never worry about it again! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
