Digital Leica M8 / M8.2 / M9 / M-E /Mono / M10 aka "M" Discussions about the Leica M8 /M 8.2 / M9 / M9-P/ M-E / M Monochrom / M10 aka "M": Leica digital M mount rangefinder cameras. Naming the new digital M the "Leica M" is VERY unfortunate as it will only confuse newbies with other Leica M cameras of the the past. Happily there is room for confusion with only the past 59 years of Leica M production ... since Leica introduced the Leica M system in 1953. All Hail for the Leica Marketing Department learning Leica M history!

M9 & Hektor 5cm f2.5-First shots!

Hi at last i could manage to use my M9 with my hektor 5cm f2.5!

The m9 is just perfect IMO, quick iso setting, accurate lightmeter readings, in black is looks far smaller than my late m8 chrome body.
With the Hektor collapsed i canīt ask for more, itīs so useful!






This are my first shots with it!
First two taken @ f2.5 the bottom one @ 4.5









Bye!

nice shots especially the black and white ones look to me like taken with film camera...Can you really collapse it without damaging the sensor?

So, why does this lens have a bad rep? Looks like it works fine to me.

Hi, thanks, it can be completely collapsed into the body, no problem.

At f2.5 itīs sharp enough, no complains!

The only issue is it shifts focus a lot!
I managed to adjust focus to something usable, but it was tricky and slow business!

check this shot this is how i finally adjusted focus on the lens, shimming and praying...
The rangefinder was focus on the 1 feet red mark.
Itīs a100% crop or more...



Bye!
