M6 with 35mm/3.5 Summaron (which, contrary to legend, is not a soft, low contrast lens).

Here's my M2 with Canon 35/2 attatched.

My weekend shooter: M4 with 'cron 35 v3.

M3 + Summaron 3.5/3.5 + Me + The wife :)

My lil' kit. I doubt very much I would use anything more than this. M6, 50 1.4 Aspheric, 28 cron aspheric.

wait till you have seen the new apo 75/2 asph.....:bang:

it knocked me down,
couldn't left the dealer without buying it

I would have to get a .85 body for that, the way anything over a 50 looks in the VF looks strange and too far away for me.

This Leica stuff is for film only ( see name ), for that focal length, I use an FM3A with a 105 2.5, frames up much faster and is fairly unobtrusive.

.....and then there is always my enormous but spectacular 85 1.2 Canon...:rolleyes:

I am sticking with my tight kit, it is more my style.

I hate you all!!! sweeeeet!!

It's here! It's here!
 

The MP arrived today, a day early! Too bad I can't go shooting right now, its a beautiful day, but I'm working on a paper right now. :(

Also, sorry in advance to the purists, thats a Zeiss 50/1.5 C Sonnar ZM. ;)

Try the x1.25 magnifier. it works really well.

gratulation, seems to be a used on?

Take these moments and put them in a box,
or on a film,
or in a rff forum.

Handle with care,
but use it.

Now there's nothing more to buy,
only some lenses, but no other body.

Interesting. The Sonnar is a little bigger than I had expected.

Yes, it is used. The original owner had it a year, claims he only put 3 rolls through it. It shows nearly no use (only one or two very light scratches you can only see in the right light, and some fingerprints).

I plan to use this camera extensively. I bought it with the intent that it will be the last camera I'll ever need. I'm going to use it, not baby it (but at the same time, I won't abuse it, either). I'm set now on lenses, the only thing I think I'll ever be tempted to do is switch to all Leica lenses, but I'm very happy with what I have now (and can't afford anything else).

Its a deceiving angle. The lens is a bit fat, but I don't think its that big. I took some side by side size comparisons with this lens and the 50/2 ZM in the following thread

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/foru...ad.php?t=29891

What? Sell the ZI, the 25 ZM, or both?

Both or one by one, I had really nice offer on MP and M7 and honestly I don`t know if I will prefer viewfinder of leicas over Zeiss ikon, I think my second body will be bessa R4A (not because I don`t like leicas, I love them, but what I really need is second body, and R4 sounds exactly what I want, a rangefinder camera that has 28mm frame lines and you space around to see what you are composing), as for 25 ZM I don`t even know what could you buy instead of this magic lens! 24 elmarit? good luck :D

My two M´s at the moment with the lens-combo of the month ;)

Chrome M6 (92) with Nokton 35mm 1,2 and Ilford Delta 3200, and my all carry around, Black M6 (85) with a 2nd gen 50mm elmar, always with Kodak BW400CN.
Actually i prefer the chrome with the Rigid summicron and the black one with my 28mm elmarit (3rd gen) .. so next month back to basic again ..

All together in a Lowepro stealth reporter 200 AW :)

The Biogon 25 is a great lens (your photos prove as much). But the Elmarit 24 is also very special.

Here's mine
 

This is fun!
My new M6 Weitzlar with 50 Summicron and hood, and M4 with CV Ultron 35. Some Mamiya TLRs as a backdrop.

Indeed it will be very special, most probably more special then biogon but For $2,895.00 :D
As for been mad! I love you too! :D

Agreed. Sean Reid has reviewed both lenses; the optical differences are very subtle; the price difference not so.

Hey - it's the artistic sort of madness :p :)

All the best as always,
