Congratulation to the F, I would like to see it once my dear old friend!

'60 set, M3 SS & Elmar 50/2.8, crème de la crème.

Wow i'd say its new home is completely and utterly the best it could have!

I've got the chance to play with a CV 21;

M3
 

Some pictures of my 2 M3

Here's my old M3 :)

^ looks brand new!

Both are used, but not to much. the lens is in great condition, but one of the aperture blades is lose. I'll send it for repair.

so very cool.

Thanks Simon. Wouldn't be possible to shoot together with nice vintage gear, some time, some where?

To me the M3 is not vintage gear but timeless gear.

sure would, no matter the degree of vintageness. drop me a line whenever you should be coming to berlin!

The last one from this series.

holy moly, this seems to be the restless M users pub :-)

Incredibly nice shots you have here.

OK, here is a quick shot of my beauties:

Thank you, yes it's a bit banged up along the edges. But I bought it to take photographs so I like it looking like that.
:)

Yes, I can understand that.

I bought my M3 also to take fotos, but then it arrived nearly like new from the first owner. :):( The Summicron 35mm, which came with it was obviously never used. Maybe not even mounted to the camera. Only the 50mm was.

I am afraid of using it. It would be a pity to give scratches to this old camera. If it would be a new one, i would not care, too. But this one spend 50 years of it's life and I dont want to be the one to scratch it....
So I kept using my old Voigtländer Vitomatic IIICS. :)

....and now I am looking for a heavily used Leica, that I wont be afraid of using it.:)

Kind regards,

Jan.

hope you didn't make any scratches on bottom plate and lensbarrel, but it doesn't look to well..:p

...the first scratch hurts the most. :D

My M6 with my latest glass: Zeiss Biogon 25, and the Lumix viewfinder (for LX3, Dlux4).

Not at all, it was sitting on Arizona Sandstone which is very soft.

My first Leica. M3 with 35 summicron .

Rich, I'm sure you mean Summaron 35/3.5. :) The chrome bezel and focus tab are giveaways. Lens code: SOONC-MW. Eyes are required for proper RF convergence.

OOPS I did mean summaron. ! Thanks Rico.
I had just been drooling on ebay over some summicrons so I had summicron on the brain....
