Should be a MP3, has baterry compartment and Solms engraves. :)

I want one too!

Hi Penzes,- Nice camera! :) I`m sure you will put it to good use!!

That metal drawer unit is a vast improvement over my previous storage Peter, it's made by Rousseau in Quebec.

Thanks Don. It was worth the wait!

At last... from left: Nikkor 50 f1.4 LTM, Nikkor 85 f2.0 LTM, Leica 50 Rigid Summicron f2.0, Leica 35 Summicron ver 4, Canon 50 f1.2 LTM, Canon Sonnar 50 f1.5 LTM with Walz Hood, Topcor 50 f2.0. Of course, the bodies to go with these lenses... Shinatro Blackpaint M3 and Leica M8 Chrome.

I just realised I have a pair of everything, except my Topcor. Oops... Poison coming!!!



Here's a close-up of the Shinatro blackpaint... I love it!!

Looks like a hand grenade :D

Well it's an MP3 but there isn't that much difference, mainly the solitary framelines and the gussied up exterior. It's still basically an MP.

Very fancy! I use standard Steelcase office cabinets, but I must see if they make dividers, I like the look of those!

Repainted M2 with 35 lux and Ollux hood

Thanks Wolfhard, the first 15 shots are already taken. :)

Edho, where did you get this lens?.. :eek:I want such too... Is it Canada made?.. Is there some photos, that you could show, made by this lens?..

M3 with 35mm f2.8 Schneider Xenogon and 35&50mm Telesar bright line finder.

Don as in DAG? Just talked to him yesterday. My 50/.95 should be done by the end of the year. Nice guy to chat with.

If it is a DAG conversion, could I see a pic of the rear of the lens?

Hi Nugard,

I have just bought this lens from second hand source. It was made in Canada. Haven't got a chance to test it yet but I will post pictures taken by this lens once I have got some.

Nugard, if you're referring to the metal hood, I believe you can find them on ebay. This should be the 35 lux pre-asph.

Edho,

Are you to use a filter on this hood?

Hi ZoomP,

Yes, it is a 35mm lux pre-asph version 1(silver version) with google. I think filter does not fit into this lens so I am going to use it with the Ollux hood for protection.

Hi Peter,

I see that the German tool-cabinet maker Bott is represented in your country:
http://www.storage-solutions.co.uk/shop/shop.aspx?c=533
They make cabinets like the one sepiareverb has, with the same kind of dividers. Their products are of a very high quality. We use them at my workplace to keep instruments and machineparts.

Thanks zerobuttons! It looks like Bott only sell their mobile stuff (vehicle racking & shelving) in the USA. It does seem that workshop storage companies would have these products though. Steelcase make office cabinets, but their systems are designed for the storage of paperwork, not solid objects.

Sorry for the bad iPhone pics, but this just arrived via mail :) 1957 M3 DS


and with my M4-P, my everyday shooter


The M3 is a combined xmas present from my fiancee and my family. I should be receiving my IIIc back from Youxin on Monday/Tuesday after a recent CLA and beam splitter replacement.

I never saw the nokton 50/1.5 mounted on an m3 , that lens is rather large compared to my 50/2.5 on the M3. Nice setup there though.

thanks. yes, it is quiet large.

I'll have a 50mm col. Summitar mounted on the M3, or a 90mm Elmarit-M, most of the time though unless shooting in low light (hence the Nokton) :)

DAG 0.95 conversion
 

It took Don over 6 months but it was worth the wait. Focus is spot on. The Canon 50mm f/0.95 has a dreamy look to it but prone to flare so it is not a daylight lens (duh!). As you can see I opted to do without the lens mount release lever for a cleaner conversion. Whenever I need to remove the lens I need to get something long and sharp to reach the release button. Now I just dedicated an M3 to it. I had him code the lens too just in case.

oh, you tempted me...I talked to Mr. Shintaro before, and after i saw yours, i contacted him again, he can even help me to paint the eyelets. I'm still thinking, mine is a 1955 DS one in very nice condition.

BTW, what is yours paint name? I think it's not simply black paint. :angel:

I think it's called Crackled or cackled blackpaint. Tell him like black hammertone. I am sure Tom A. can help comment.

Thank you Rayt. He's had my 50/.95 for close to 6 months. I originally wanted the Viso III mount with the lever, but after talking to him a few days ago, I decided to go with the mount like your's. I guess I should also consider the coding as well. Looks like a great conversion. Oh, I also asked him to add a half click between .95 and 1.4 to get an approximate 1.2 aperture opening.

I can't wait!
