Mm.. M4-2 biohazmat edition :)

Since this is the "official" M thread, I'll post this pic here, too. My M2 just arrived this week.

good start to this way of photographing,
and very good photo of yor new "love"

Hmm.. M4-P with a Rapidwinder.. I'd like to try a rapidwinder some time, I'm sure it gives the camera some more body.

drool. i think i want that m4-p

Doc,
The M3 was purchased and was already used quite a bit. I got it CLA'd and it's now the smoothest and quietest of all my cameras. Now I know what butter smooth means :-)

I had it dechromed so a local shop would professionally paint it black but the touch and feel of the Nickel is so nice I decided to keep it as-is. I noticeably used the M3 for the Paris-2 series in my website as well as the Ritual series :-)

Quite a camera...

2 of mine,

my original M3 ds w/ 50 summicron, and later M3 ss w/ 21 2.8 Asph. Shot with M6 and 50 summicron


M6ttl W/ 35 summilux hiding behind a Breitling and an Omega


I'll post more pics as find them.

I hope to get my J-12 35mm this week to use with my M4. I'm still waiting for it.

My film Ms, modelling 3/4 of my 50s...



(Taken with my M8)

Underexposed by the M8, or is it just my monitor? Either way, the image I get is way too dark to see properly.

Enjoy everybody :D

nice tools

hey all
been watching this thread for quite awhile, finally joining the procession.
here's my M6 w/35 from about 10 years ago, my grandfather's (now in my hands) IIIC from the ’40s (with VC meter), and my M8 w/21-cum-28 from last year, all near and dear to my heart.
also, i haven't got a gallery put together here yet, but here's a link to a blog entry from my work. i'm the editor of a skateboard magazine in san francisco. all the photos here are from a family trip to japan during which i broke in my M8...

DAMN!
Slap photographers use Leica's? :)

My go-everywhere M6..........

"DAMN!
Slap photographers use Leica's?"

i never thought anybody on here would know SLAP... hi HSI.
i'm pretty much the only regular one, through joe brook and lance dawes have had them, too. i mostly use mine for portraits and music stuff, but i've had a decent amount of skate stuff w/leicas over the last 10 years.

I used to read Slap back in high school. I liked it -- a nice break from Thrasher and TWS. Nice pics of the Japan trip!

Wow, Philippe, nice array.

Here is my M collection today. I have nothing important to add, although another Visoflex lens is always possible. Two Brownie Points if you can ID this mess. :)
.

You know it all listed at the bottom?
Other than that, beautiful collection.

Yeah Slap was my favorite skate mag back in high school. Never thought any skate photographers would use rangefinders though.

here's my contribution. I'm not the best digital photographer...
