Well, beat me, I just succumbed to ordering an M2 (my second). That perfect frameline set & finder got me, together with "having around the body that's missing for the compact 35/40mm outfit with film XXX"... Model from 1960 w/self-timer. Seems in great shape, reputable seller, hopes are high. Will report.

Cheers,

Alexander

Strange, for the first time in quite a few years, DHL lost my parcel. The ordered M2 didn't cross the Rhine, it seems. World Cup stupor was already on, perhaps. Very professionally handled by the seller, at least, full reimbursement even before I asked.

 

So, I went forty years ahead and — no offense — a Hexar RF it will be. More of a replacement to my CLE (also lost in Teutonia).

 

But then, having just seen a nice button M2, the wish remains. Durability is beautiful...

 

Cheers,

Alexander

New-to-me M2 with early "small window" button-rewind, no self-timer. Probably the cleanest looking M I've ever owned including the digital ones as far as the cosmetic condition goes. I had a lever-rewind M2 for several years, and I really regretted letting it go. I intend to keep this one for good.

Monochromatic Duo.

 

M2 covers non-flying trips and when MM is in service. MM covers flying trips and everyday-carry during the week.

My first post here, after recently 'upgrading' to film and buying my first Leica.

 

A '65 build M2 with lever-rewind and self-timer. At the moment I've got the tiny CV 35mm Color Skopar and 'fat' 90mm Tele Elmarit, and I'm hoping to add a CV 50mm f1.5 Nokton in the next few weeks. Loving the adventure so far!

Wanted to go back to film after years ...

Inspired by these great "I love my Mx" threads, I made my decision to buy a near mint Leica M2 without selftimer.

It's my first Leica, but I still own several M/M39 lenses for my digital MILCs
