Greetings Mark

I learned it as guitar acquisition syndrome, but it didn't take long to learn it was a disease with many venues.

Art,
Thanks for your explanation.
I believe I'm also sufferred (or enjoyed:D) from such disease.

Often manifests itself at a young age as Girlfriend Acquisition Syndrome

One is never enough....

This has been my week of GAS (I bought both M's as well as the Elmar and Summaron). Still waiting for the Tri-Elmar......................................

M2 with General Electric light meter:




M6 TTL:

Hello I´m new to this forum.
I finaly gave in to the urge and got myself a brand new MP and a new Summilux 50 pre asph. This is good company to my older Hexar now in the background. Im very pleasd with the results from the Summilux.

Wow! GE made a lightmeter - does it work? How do I get one? I really want one... (I used to work for them - great company).

Cheers,
Alex

Yes, it works like a charm! Spot on! Bought it about ten years ago and it never let me down. I guess it is from the 1950's, wait, here's a picture of the (more informative) backside. The serial # is K55543. Maybe I can find out from what year this model is.

Edit: since light meters are OT in this thread, I started a new thread: http://rangefinderforum.com/forums/s...d.php?p=562087
Oh, and I saw one for cheap on the bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Working-General-...QQcmdZViewItem
And a nice online manual as well: http://yandr.50megs.com/ge/pr1/pr1.htm

Very funny i should point this out to my son :D

Great combination and welcome to the Forum.

Slow day here in Boston so I'm posting pics of my M cams along with my new R4A over in the CV forum. :)

1) My first attempt at marking up the magnifications - a 0.85 mag sandwich.
2) The three M cams with from left, 35 Summilux ASPH, 75 Summicron ASPH, rigid Summicron.
3) A walkaround kit - M7, Rapidgrip, rigid Summicron.

Nice Peter. Where do you get the Lug protectors from ?

Here is something different. Not too much artistic value but I just shot
this for another thread:



Cheers,

Roland.

Wow. That's a pretty amazing shot Roland! :) I use Domke Gripper straps and they come with the little leather protectors.

Peter, I like the film reminder/box flap holders. ;)

Yes but it only 1/2 works - too small. I'd like to find a transparent holder the size of a box lid that I could stick onto the top or bottom of a body. I normally use a regular sticker and that works OK.

Try the light impressions label holders- or another label holder from a stationers. I have them on my G2's baseplates to make it easier to know which is which when you can't see the back.
adhesive on the LIMP ones is not permanent on the titanium anyway- wouldn't maybe trust it with paint.

Did you Panda that M7 yourself?

Thanks I will check out Light Impressions.

I believe a Panda is a camera with film winder, speed dial and film rewind knob a different color. This is just the winder and speed dial and I got Leica to do it when they replaced the VF for me under warranty. Reason is that I have two identical looking cameras - one a 0.72 mag and the other a 0.85 mag and now I can tell them apart immediately. :) Kind of ugly but I've got used to it - and it works.

Just got it today :)

Looks good, Chris!

Don't worry Ned, I'll give her a good home :)

OK Chris! looks kool, congratulations on the acquisitions

Now that my M3 arrived I can add it here. This is it as far as Leica related stuff is concerned, minus the 40 that Raid has.
