sandro Posted August 15, 2023 Share #8 Â Posted August 15, 2023 The photo shows an M3 with a kind of motor attached to the bottom, I didn't know there existed such things for the M3. Is this made at special request? Do you know more about the camera? As for the turret, I believe a few companies tried to make them for Leica M bodies. Is this a photo from your collection, or where did you see this? Lex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan mcfall Posted August 16, 2023 Share #9  Posted August 16, 2023 Here are my "turrets", as noted there were quite a few variations in the H and F units. Mine has the flash slider attachment to set the flash sync. We are all anxious to see what is in the box below the M camera in the OP, so some photos of the back or interior would be welcome.

Guest Posted August 16, 2023 Share #10 Â Posted August 16, 2023 If these weren't by Leica everybody would be laughing their heads off at these. As it is, folks apparently think they're cool and even collectable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicapasion Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share #11  Posted August 16, 2023 The photograph of the turret sought, is a cover of a magazine that I found on the internet. I asked for a copy to obtain information, which I will put in the group. The attached photo is my current collection of turrets. Welcome, dear visitor!

Otherwise distance between the lens and film plane (Auflagemass) will be wrong. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
