Rangefinderforum.com - Let's see your Leica M

Let me present my newly acquired used M8 and the Voigtländer Heliar 15 (new version) together with the very nicely made Mr Zhou leather case with red stitching and mating leather strap..
Picture taken with my mobile phone cam, as my dslr is currently lent to my mom...

Nice setup, geebeewien :-) The little Helia really rocks on the M8!

The kicker? It's had all of THREE rolls through it.

Truth be told though, I'm not sure how I feel about the .85x VF as I do like my wides. But I'm thinking I can just use the whole VF to approximate the 28mm view.

Mmmmhh -what a beauty indeed!
Enjoy, a really wonderful camera!

The M3 was my first Leica and I think the ala carte M7 will be my last film body. Famous last words! I had a MP and loved it, but the M7 is so much faster to use.

Just for the heck of it I tried the ala carte configurator. Over $6,000 for my M7! That's a huge price increase over what I paid for mine. BTW, A mode for me all the time unless I'm using the M3.

No matter what I do, I cannot seem to like the M7. A quick google reveals far too many people complaining about something related to that camera.

I think my next purchase will either be an MP or an M4, if I can find ones that I can actually afford, else I'll get a second M4-P.

I have a silver chrome M6, which I like, but those "chocolate" Leicas look mighty tasty.

Do you have any more pictures of your M3? The "black hammertone" finish looks really nice.

ZoomP, do you take requests? :D

Have any more pictures of your Masa Saita M2? I saw a few in the earlier posts, any progress on how well they hold up to use?

Sorry, sold the Masa to a buddy who wanted a Black M2. If you compare the paintwork, Shintaro is up there with the best.

Thanks. That finish is incredibly nice. I can imagine that it cost you a small fortune, but well worth it, I'm sure.

Actually this belonged to one of the Rffers here, who sold it to my buddy in Singapore. I got it from him eventually.

I would imagine so, as the pro repainters strip the camera before painting it. All that's left under the paint is brass! :)
