I love my… I love my M2

Hello Everybody,

 

I think the white plugs fit the M3, M2, M1,  (original)MP,  MP2(an original MP with M2 range/viewfinder) &  MD(an M1 without any viewfinder windows). They all have the original (better) Leitz bulb & blitz connexions.

 

I think that all later M's take the black plugs which use the Industry Standard PC (Prontor-Compur) connexions.

 

There are converters which slip over the original Leitz outlets & convert them to PC outlets. They are sort of similar in concept to the coverters which allow the use of silver oxide replacement (S357) batteries in place of the original Mercury PX-13 or PX- 625 batteries in cameras, light meters, etc.

 

Except that the slip on converters for bulb & blitz simply provide a different physical interface between the camera & the connecting wire's plug & do not change voltage or anything else.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

Thanks

 

Good move, they really are flush so not likely to get ripped off like the common plugs.  Enjoy !

JM and Dirk, yes I knew on ebay but  2 pieces of plastic for 40 USD

is a bit expensive I think. This is why I have not given you the link.

But the explanation of Michael is useful.

I think it is 40 AUD... but still not cheap. Let's see how they are.

I have tried other plugs and prefer these, flush and well made  . 

Best, JM

I want red plugs for my M2.

[Michael Geschlecht]

Hello Pico,

 

There are permanent red markers, red nail polish & beets*, etc that can be used to transform your M2 into a red plugged model.

 

Best Regards,

Ah, a button rewind. I always liked that.

Hi everyone,

 

My first post after lurking for ages. I thought all the M2's were feeling neglected and couldn't stand for it any longer!

 

Mine is lovely and with my 35 Sumilux asph. produces lovely results! No need to go digital for me. It is much easier just to get a scan when I need it! In berlin there are some really good labs too...

 

Cheers and to lovely M2's

 

Adrian

 

i think is a very good idea

I just got the plugs today. They look good and fit perfect:

I prefer black :-)

Ever since I saw one with red covers I cannot be happy with black or white. [emoji275]

Hello Dirk, which half case so you use? Looks lovely on your M2.

And here's my M2 that I got last year :-)  It's keeping my LTM Summaron company in this shot.
