plaidshirts Posted April 5, 2018 Share #761 Posted April 5, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have one where the button has to be held down to rewind. The original vulcanite is brittle and chipping off, but this M2 is still my favorite out of all film M designs. Welcome, dear visitor!

ktmrider2 Posted May 20, 2018 Share #766 Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) I need to put some film through my M2. It alternates with the M5 as my favorite film Leica. However, I have been using a recently acquired MP240 a lot trying to get into digital. Technology vs tradition, sounds like a song from FIDDLER ON THE ROOF.

Mute-on Posted August 11, 2018 Share #771 Posted August 11, 2018 My one. Beautiful no S-T lever rewind M2! The essence of Leica M Careful with those rotated strap lugs, though. They could cause light leaks, or worse, fall out while in use. Cheers, J 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hektor Posted August 11, 2018 Share #773 Posted August 11, 2018 "Careful with those rotated strap lugs, though. They could cause light leaks, or worse, fall out while in use." Xelor, congratulations. May I suggest the M2 is given a CLA when the strap lugs can be corrected and tightened. They are made of brass, so I use blind-cord and not key-ring eyelet which wear the lugs. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mute-on Posted August 11, 2018 Share #774 Posted August 11, 2018 A perennial M2. Button rewind. Yes, button rewind is perennial. Of course a picture from the front would allow us to admire this ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xelor Posted August 11, 2018 Share #775 Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) "Careful with those rotated strap lugs, though. They could cause light leaks, or worse, fall out while in use." The lugs are very tight! They are not rotating by any means (no danger of light leaks or falling out). I assume the previous owner did request this "change" by intention during a CLA. I currently do not see any problem with that. Thank you for your "heads-up". Edited August 11, 2018 by Xelor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmahto Posted August 27, 2018 Share #776 Posted August 27, 2018 Finally I managed to get picture of my M2 on film (using Konica Autoreflex T2). Used this on a roadtrip and loved it.

hektor Posted August 27, 2018 Share #777 Posted August 27, 2018 Hi Guys, I noticed, on those cameras where the shutter speed is visible, that they are set to around 1/125 sec. The biggest improvement to the quality of my shots was increasing the shutter speed where possible to 1/500 or at least 1/250. In the days of Kodachrome this was rarely possible, but with today's films and the quality of Leica lenses wide open it is not a problem.

In the days of Kodachrome this was rarely possible, but with today's films and the quality of Leica lenses wide open it is not a problem. Hektor For me it depends on the film speed but I somewhat agree. With 400 film it is naturally high for sunny 16. For 100 speed film, I set 1/500 since I can use more optimal aperture (5.6 or 8). When light falls then I open aperture first before slowing shutter. But I bring back speed to 1/125 and aperture to f16 as a habit. This allows me to quickly set exposure by counting stops above sunny 16. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
