Advertisement Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Hi fotohuis, Take a look here Why not an "I love my M7" thread?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
McGirton Posted March 17, 2015 Share #242 Posted March 17, 2015 1. Which of the latter two are available now, new, with full Mfg. warranty? That's what I thought... 2. I think a case can be made that the M-A is the only fully mechanical Leica now being made. And a lovely camera it is too. Regards, s-a That's true. You can buy / replace several M2/M6 for the price of a MP if you have problems with it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

menos I M6 Posted March 18, 2015 Share #246 Posted March 18, 2015 The gnomes are currently busy with mine... Nice, what are you getting? With mine, I had a broken film transport (completely locked up), had still the old DX reader and therefore decided if those things need fixing, why not order the whole menu. This M7 got a complete rebuild with a few modifications and it works and feels better than it ever did. I also had it fine calibrated with a complete set of lenses in for repair as well and had a Motor-M specifically matched to this camera. It is now the rangefinder equivalent of this camera: Nikon F3 + MD-4 + MK-1 + Noct-Nikkor by teknopunk.com, on Flickr Wow, big lens .... And these Neopan 400 are not available anymore. Anyhow I am shooting with Acros 100. I always liked Tri-X best and only stocked on a big bulk of Neopan when Tri-X prices around here soared (I could get two rolls of Neopan for one of TX400). Neopan is a nice film up to ISO800, it does ok @ ISO1600 too but I like TX better pushed that far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotohuis Posted March 18, 2015 Share #247 Posted March 18, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) You're right about Tri-X in push processing (or HP5+ or RPX-400). A classic combination is Diafine 2-bath with Tri-X 400 E.I. 1000-1600. The popularity of Neopan 400 was always less and Fuji killed the film already when they discontinued the 120 roll film version.

stephen.w Posted March 18, 2015 Share #248 Posted March 18, 2015 Nice, what are you getting?. 0.58x finder, black chrome, no logo or engraving, vulcanite (or whatever Leica calls "vulcanite" nowadays), otherwise same as a standard serial number M7. Can't wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotohuis Posted March 18, 2015 Share #249 Posted March 18, 2015 I have a Black M7 0,58 and one of my favorite lenses is the 28mm Elmarit. For the C.V. SWH 15mm-M and Elmarit 21mm I have a C.V. zoom 15-35mm VF. Further I have a 50mm Summicron and a 75mm Summarit. A SF24 flash and some Heliopan filters makes the set complete together with a Luigi half case. So far hundreds of films without any problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted March 19, 2015 Share #250 Posted March 19, 2015 I have a Black M7 0,58 [...] My 35mm Summilux is virtually welded to a .58 viewfinder on an M7. An M7 with .72 handles the rest but if I would stop being stingy, I'd get a .85 for the 75mm. I hate changing lenses. Being a former daily news photographer I do not mind carrying three or more cameras. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith (M) Posted April 9, 2015 Share #253 Posted April 9, 2015 Well, it is now on its way back for the fifth time - yes, really. When returned for the fourth time it was agreed with CS that it would be exchanged. An unfortunate break-down in internal CS communications then seemingly took place due to my contact taking a vacation. I won't go into detail here of what has transpired over the last month, but my patience and loyalty to Leica products has been severely tested. Luckily a solution has now been reached and a replacement camera will be sent to me after Easter (my choice, as there is not enough time for one to reach me before I go on holiday). I will refrain from saying more at the moment... Well, Wetzlar CS are as good as their word - the replacement black M7 arrived this afternoon. A fine looking camera indeed! My faith in Leica and CS now fully restored. Much kudos to them for grasping the nettle and taking the necessary positive action to resolve a very long-running problem. Hope to run a test roll and develop it in the next few days. Welcome, dear visitor!

fotohuis Posted April 9, 2015 Share #254 Posted April 9, 2015 I wish you all luck with your new Leica M7. At the moment my second Zorki-6 body is in complete revision. But no problem I have another refurbished one and a Kiev-4AM (Contax bayonet) as extra back up range finder. For the rest I sold all my FSU gear. But my M7 is my favorit!

fussgangerfoto Posted June 27, 2015 Share #257 Posted June 27, 2015 The Leica M7 was my first Leica. Since then, I've had (for a variety of reasons), an X2, M8, Monochrom, M(240). The only one that I have and would not consider parting with is the M7. Perfect size, weight and the essence of photography and nothing more. Welcome, dear visitor!

AnakChan Posted September 5, 2015 Share #258 Posted September 5, 2015 I sent my 13 yr old M7 off to Leica Ginza in March to have a few things changed....the MP-styled levers, a leather replacement, conversion to optical DX reading, but most of all was the engraving of my dad's signature as he passed away last year. I doubt my digital Leicas would last so thought the M7 would remain in the family passed onto the next generation. I finally got my M7 back an hour ago (6 months!) and am very happy with the work they've done on it. Welcome, dear visitor!

Brenton C Posted September 9, 2015 Share #259 Posted September 9, 2015 A lovely on going tribute to the on going memory of your father. I may well have my M3 similarly engraved with the signature of my father who introduced me to photography and to Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
