Xmas Posted September 12, 2010 Share #161 Posted September 12, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sorry to be brief just rushing out. Leica FAQ - M3/2 rapid load & rewind crank modifications… Hi Chris I do it slightly differently, after you push the cassette into the cassette chamber and into the QL slot, so that it is between the rails of the film guides... i) place thumb on the sprocket shaft teeth, to pin film into tooth, operate rewind knob until film tightens in cassette, don't go mad, you are just taking up slack. ii) replace baseplate... This reduces the risk of the film not feeding properly, works ok with M4 (and later) as well. And with Canon P, or Yashica YF as well.

Stealth3kpl Posted November 1, 2010 Share #172 Posted November 1, 2010 Is there any problem using modern M lenses with an M2 other than minimum focus distance is 1m? Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted November 1, 2010 Share #173 Posted November 1, 2010 None whatsoever. I use my 6 bit coded 35 APSH just as happily on my M2 as I do my M7. Ditto the 90 Summarit. And the 50 Summicron. That's the whole point of the M really. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemal_mumcu Posted November 2, 2010 Share #174 Posted November 2, 2010 Is there any problem using modern M lenses with an M2 other than minimum focus distance is 1m?Pete Minimum focus distance is .7 on the M2. Lack of certain framelines (75, 28, 135) could also hamper use of certain modern lenses. I have a 75 that I love but shooting it regularly on the M2 gets to be a chore sometimes account lack of 75 lines. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo Park Posted November 7, 2010 Share #175 Posted November 7, 2010 And here's my humble M2 with collapsible Summicron - a nice combination me thinks. Welcome, dear visitor!

Shac Posted November 10, 2010 Share #179 Posted November 10, 2010 A terrific piece, looks wonderful. Enjoy ! Best GEORG Thank you Georg - I am enjoying it - it had a CLA (it needed it when I first got it) from Gerry at Kindermann. I bought the kit a few years ago and besides the M2 and 35 lens it came with a 50DR (with goggles) and 90/2.8 (ver. 1) - each with Leitz UVa filters and lens hoods, an MC meter, Leitz eveready case, and a couple of Leitz leather lens cases - for what to me was a very good price - still have all the lenses etc. Cheers David 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth3kpl Posted November 30, 2010 Share #180 Posted November 30, 2010 My M2 is back from Malcolm Taylor who CLAed it and ironed the shutter curtains. It's a smoooooth operator now. What size metal cap do I need for the 50/2.8? Pete Welcome, dear visitor!
