Philippe D. Posted September 4, 2008 Share #45 Posted September 4, 2008 Here is mine, second version from 1959, with Leicavit and Summaron 35mm f/2.8 also from 1959. A beautiful camera, working like a chronometer, and still with its black "L" seal. Welcome, dear visitor!

chris_livsey Posted September 12, 2008 Share #47 Posted September 12, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Time for a thread bump. New, as of yesterday, from our friend in Barton Arcade Manchester. Big birthday next year as this is from a batch of 850 : 22/07/1959. First film through already and I can still use a light-meter I found. P.S. Should I crop as indicated ? :D Welcome, dear visitor!

wilfredo Posted September 15, 2008 Share #49 Posted September 15, 2008 Ye members of the M2 clan will be happy to know I have caved once again and yesterday purchased one.

Michael Hiles Posted September 15, 2008 Share #50 Posted September 15, 2008 Wlifredo, You will never, ever, regret it. A little trick - when setting the frame counter, load the camera and cock the shutter about 50%, and then set the frame counter to -2. The gears disengage and the counter disk moves freely. Then wind on fully (twice) and make pictures. Cheers, Michael 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy! Cheers, Z. This one I really enjoyed !! I use a MR meter sometimes with my M4-P (I know... "wrong" camera in this thread ) but found it to give wrong readings (about one stop under-exposure). Can it be easily adjusted ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
