Wolfgang,

Maybe I'm being a little thick? What is the CS? Camera Shop? It sounds quite magic that you can ask for changes to a standard camera without the ala Cart extra fees. Is this because you live near Solms?

If you use your M7 so much and you are not a Pro-Photographer, what do you shoot? Perhaps not landscapes? I quickly run out of local places to visit again and again.

 

Regards, Lincoln

I have two M6s and an M8, so I put my M7 up for sale in the classified section a couple of days ago. After reading this thread, I'm thinking maybe I don't care if it sells or not. They really are great cameras.

Lincoln,

CS = Customer Service. The CS is very fair, customer focused and open for any idea. If you have an idea for your personal "a la card for poor people" you should ask them for the costs. The black dot is free of charge, for the vulcanite cover and another winding lever you have to pay.

 

Here you can see what I shoot:

Brent- I don't have other film Leicas to compare, but of all my cameras present or past (M8,D3, D2Hs, D1H, D2x,S2, S3, kodak 14nx) it is my favorite. By the way, most of those cameras are long gone. keep it my friend. ;>) best...Peter

Is this an ala carte M7? How did you get the Leica script on the top of the camera?

I love it!!!!!

Since I added a Motor M to my M7 I like it even more. Just feels right in the hand and I actually like the extra heft of the drive. A truly professional feeling piece of camera equipment.

I agree with you. It adds some weight but thats ok with me It just

feels great to hold and shoot.

Love mine so much I got another. Added to my chrome 0.72 is a black 0.85. Both with motor winders which I agree is excellent ergonomically and makes for a blazing capture machine when needed. I use my 75 lux (lmost always) and F1 Noctilux (rarely) preferentially on the 0.85 body, and the 35 and 50 FLs on the 0.72. best...Peter

Had a M6 classic a for a couple of years. Was very happy with it, but longed for the A-mode. Sold the M6 with a kit of lenses. Tried the Contax G2. Though I never were very satisfied with autofocus. Kept on using it for a while because of the fine lenses. All of a sudden I found a good deal at the often visited camera shop here in Stockholm. So bye, bye G2 and Hello M7 + a pre Asph 35 lux. Used it, so far, on a daily bases and I could only say that I've found my very favourite.

 

 

Regards
