Brenton C Posted April 29, 2015 Share #501 Posted April 29, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Martin, I never thought I'd say this being a dedicated M shooter, but that is a very nice camera. I'll bet Martin took that photo with an M! it is a beautiful shot! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only must he had known, I'm sure he researched it well before paying the asking price of that lens. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 38 Posted June 7, 2015 Share #507 Posted June 7, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have been meaning to show some of my collection. I never intended to start collecting but as time has gone by I have ended up with a number of items. To start with the Leicaflexes : The black SL2 has a sticky meter needle but otherwise all working . I bought the Leicaflex for about £23 20 years ago . it had all sorts growing inside , no battery or cover . I pt a betty in it , used the cover off an SL2 which fits flus so I can use more lenses on it and the camera works well. I had it cleaned up after a while . The SL is my father's . I can remember him brining it home in its red and white box. I learnt how use a camera with that . Some may argue corrupted at an early age. I bought the silver SL2 about 7 years ago from some one who no longer used it and wanted t to go to a good home which I have provided . I took it to Wetzlar with me last week. Welcome, dear visitor!

MarkP Posted June 7, 2015 Share #508 Posted June 7, 2015 A well loved and worn collection. Tell us about your lenses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 38 Posted June 8, 2015 Share #509 Posted June 8, 2015 Thanks. My collection has been used a lot and continues to be used . The Elmarit 28 came from the Leica school in Luton , used with a full passport , my father used it more than me. The Elmarit 19 came from a widely travelled gentleman who used to undertake tours to all corners of the globe , and came back with superb pictures . The Apo 180 and Elmarit 60 both from the same lady , another extensive traveller. She used to go on Russian ice breakers to the North Pole and other far flung places. When I bought the 60mm she showed me pictures of ants in the Sahara she had take with the lens, which need a good clean when I got it. She did not like the Apo 180 !!! which had seen less service , though I use it and think it wonderfull . The Elmarit 60 is s very good ' all rounder' and can be used in all sorts of places and makes a good 'standard lens ' . 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 38 Posted August 3, 2015 Share #510 Posted August 3, 2015 Here are more from my collection ; Three Threes The chrome one works properly ! I bought it about 10 years ago and it is really good . It has the 35 to 70 zoom on which i have not had long and I am getting used to it , not having had a zoom for about 30 years. I normally use my fee to zoom. The R3 mot only works in manual . I bought it for a good price , with the motor , from the same person I got my chrome SL2 from . A shame to split them up . However the R3 mot is in good condition. It has the 35mm Elmarit on it which I use a lot , a great lens . The person I bought the 35mm Elmarit from wanted it to go to a good home before he died , 6 months later aged 93. The black R3 is the first Leica I bought in January 1987 . It lasted for about 15 years before all the metering failed . I can only use it on manual with an external meter. I always had a sticky winding lever , even after servicing. It has an Elmarit 135 on it . Not a lens I use much . Welcome, dear visitor!

MarkP Posted August 9, 2015 Share #514 Posted August 9, 2015 This is all tempting me to get an R. For my M240 I bought some time ago pristine late production units of 2.8/28-90 (before prices went stratospheric) and 4.0/80-200 (couldn't justify the cost of an APO lens in this FL range as I only infrequently shoot lenses this long). Maybe I'll also get a 2.0/50 Summicron to complete an R system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
finarphin Posted September 18, 2015 Share #515 Posted September 18, 2015 Looking good. Very good. Double-plus good. I was going to take a picture of it while it was still in the box, with the plastic popcorn, but was patient enough to take it out and put it on the dining room table. No lens? Tell me about it. My objective is to acquire one of them Mandler 90mm Summicrons, and then take pictures of my neice, who is an actress -- and anybody else who wants to get in the way. Welcome, dear visitor!

thebarnman Posted November 13, 2015 Share #520 Posted November 13, 2015 Hi, New here, thought I'd share my R collection to start Nice set of gear. Film is not dead and beautiful images can be had from all this equipment. I'm not much of a user of a lens typically longer than 90mm, it's your normal or wider angles I admire. I've been shooting with a 90mm for a good number of years and I haven't figured out how or when to get something with a wider angle. Another words, I was thinking about getting a M film camera to take advantage of the newest of the normal to wider lens. Since I'm really don't like to switch lens types on the go (in the middle of taking pictures) to me it's easier (and faster) to simply pick up another body with a different (wider) lens already attached when needed. All this time I've been thinking of the M, maybe it might be better to simply pick up another R and attach a wider lens to that. So maybe I might be better off simply getting a wider R lens where I should probably simply "bite the bullet" and just do the switch of lenses on the field. Again though, that takes time. See? This is where I've been conflicted. Though I say I really love my R9 and my APO-Summicron-R 90mm f/2 ASPH. If and when I finally get a wider lens (possibly for the R,) I want to pick up the best performing lens either a 35mm or 28mm. I think I read it was either the 24mm or 28mm that was the better performer. Though it's hard for me to choose that when I know there had been advances with the wider of the M lenses. See, conflicted! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
