I have one in the works right now, mostly due to Bill's bad influence.

i already have a doner m3 and a m6 to spare. just wondering if it's possible to move the rewind gears onto the m6 rf plate. it that works, the mod should be fairly straightforward..but i'm too chicken to try!

Use my BP M3 top and bottom for a M6 frankenleica BP M3-6 and re-convert my BP M3 to chrome with the original top and bottom I still have...

Is this doable?

Now to find a roughed-up M6

Great--all I need is another M...

I remember seeing a photo of Tom A. with a bunch of cameras around him (I think in Paris) and I thought it was cool....though to be honest, I only use one camera when I am working (shooting), and I don't think I would even know how to work if I had all this stuff on me....
m3/50mm summilux, m6ttl/28mm elmarit, m2/35mm nokton 1.2 and a 501cm

cheers, michael

the grey is pretty nice actually. it's matt and a lil rough to the touch. the x1's paint is smoother and a lil glossier. the leatherette is a shame! feels like recycled plastic bags.. :S

Nothing to do on a lazy Sunday. Stucked at home with baby girl, so I used the natural light from my window bay to take these pics.

my Leica MP and R4s using my Canon 5dm2 with 35 Summicron-R f2.0 lens.
