Problem is that these HK vintage stores have loads of stock that they haven't bothered putting up on Ebay, because they prefer to negotiate prices depending on whether you're a tourist or local regular (or maybe just lack of technical skill). Literally rows of M3 body's stacked against each other. FYI - if you ever end up in HK - the place to go is Champagne Court in TST, several of them next to each other.

One new place I just discovered that HAS put some old stuff online for reasonable prices is 9days.hk. I'm visiting them in a few days to check out their store.

Why have the strap on the LEFT side of the camera?

OlliL 07-23-2012 04:04

It's a neck strap ;)

Not sure I will always use it but the case does look nice.


Hosermage 07-23-2012 12:44

my unconventional strap setup... basically a wrist-strap on the right and detachable neck strap on the left, doubling the quick-disconnectors just in case :D

Do you know this web? http://www.leicagoodies.com/
I think is better the hook (see the web, is made of metal) for your neck strap, I don't like plastic parts in a Leica...

I bought it really used (these are actually the photos from his ad I kept), he explained the tape: "If its screwed in all the way in it will focus to 1m, which is the normal close focus distance for an m2. It won't effect anything but the last couple feet of rangefinder patch coupling whether its screwed in or not. If you want it to focus a little bit closer (as close as some of the later lenses focus) you can have it slightly unscrewed w some tape or just take it out and tape it."

Not quite sure, never removed the tape, just take photos with it.

Looks ugly as sin, and seems to work too.

I've never felt so attached to a camera.
