Leica custumerd service €220,- al inclusive

Ah, yes, I can remember the ad / photo of the 35/1.4 now. Strange how thing slip past ones memory!

Hey, that’s new to me? There was a titan pre - aspherical????? I know ther was a 2.0 / 50mm summicron but 35?? only one I knew was the 2.0/35 summicron asph an summilux asph ? My 2.0/35 asph was the lens which I sent back because of the titan “ wholes “ in the finishing after a few weeks. Since then have the chrome version who is actually build the same as the titan version . Reason they are brass is the finishing: It doesn’t do well on other metal material like the black lenses are build from I was told.

I sent my M240 for servicing and refurbishing to Leica Solms . They did a great, and within weeks , job! Thank you Frau Andrea Frankl! But not an M3, I would sent it to Zoetermeer.

Oh that’s easy, they wore out with my specimen in two months. Luckily two years of warranty on a new camera, so they made it. My camera was made in a batch of 25 who all had issues, but after so many years, they will be all right because all the faults were repaired. my M6t also had a shutter failiure after 34 shots, so back to “ INCA” for another repair. I must have the warranty and repair bills somewhere because they are do unique! I don’t know any one who had their leica fixed two times in the first years! Leica sent me a nice photobook “ statt Blumen “ they wrote , for excuses. afterwards it functioned great ( after new electronics and shutter I mean )

My first M6 was an Titan version, ( not the real titanium but titanium coated called in German “titanisiert”. I think you mean this one , because the real Titan camera is over €25.000,- ) . I have had 11 M6 and MP camera’s or more but I will never buy my first M6 titan again. I loved it, but it was more vunerable than the MP ( a dent in the zink cap was easily made ) and the titan coating was not good enough because under sweat it just fell of and left tiny holes in the coating. I really liked the lesther, so I bought an MP later with ostrich leather. It could have been my sweat , because later I bought an 35mm titan which corroded in a few weeks! no more “ titanisiert” fot me, but I would love a real Titan camera! I might start a fundraising to buy one …

There’s nothing wrong with a snake on the shoulder of your daughter but people kept asking if it was AI,…picture was taken a decade ago:

This evening I was watching a famous dutch man, Jort Kelder who was cloned by Alexander Klöpping an AI nerd. He was in various Instagram shot, acting , as a clone. The shots generated 300.000 views each on insta. I realised that in 2 years, every digital picture and movie can be generated in hours without any real factual content at all!! What will this do with movies, fake news on television, news reals ? The only way of making “ real “ pictures will be the proof of negatives out of my MP ? or even not?

A la carte ostrich. 135 lens with the MP ( ostrich or not ) is just a nice picture. ☺️

I really like this one with the 135mm

Maybe this will help:
