HSI, andrew and sofa- found a few leica skate photos from the archives, thought i'd post a few since it was mentioned. i know it's not really on topic, so i'll be happy to remove them if anybody objects...

Nice to sell some variety in the 1D / Hasselblad driven world of skateboarding.
(As an active poster on http://forums.skateperception.com/ I would know this)

Also, in addition to your post, here is a shot I did just a day ago with my Leica:

My beloved M6 TTL, which I got autographed by David Hume Kennerly and Dirck Halstead when I met them in Austin.

lovley nice shot

[findwolfhard]

Hi ! Found this old Polaroid in some old drawer!
Not exactly new! But it was back then about 30 years ago!
The 90 mm Elmarit I sold on Ebay 2 days ago! It`s on its way to Hongkong now!
Best regards Wolfhard

[abenner]

That's kinda funny, a 30 year old gear shot, and somebody's probably got that same kit today and is taking that same gear shot.

[martin-f5]

MP on colorfilm
yeah, not digital!

[abenner]

Of course I'm guilty of it too, but I have always thought it a bit ironic and comical that the most viewed and most posted to thread on this forum dedicated to rangefinder photography is the one with a bunch of pictures OF rangefinder cameras, 98% of which are taken WITH a digital slr or p&s. Now I gotta go take some pics of my new M2 with my lumix!

[martin-f5]

again on film

I have kept the Leicameter!

The M3 was swapped with an M4, because the old style lugs pinched my nose! The M4 was sold years ago, also the 50mm Summicron.
The 90 Elmarit was made redundant because of my new Voigtländer Heliar. The "new" M3 came about 3 weeks ago.

I just got me a Leicameter for the M4-P Now ... where to get batteries for it ... (According to the seller it has been adjusted to 1.5 V / 625 type)

[findwolfhard]

Hello! When it has been adjusted it should be ok!
Usual current is 1.35, using 1.5 batteries without compensation might lead to false metering!
By the way, my "new" Summilux has arrived, exceptional condition!
Best regards Wolfhard

[novum]

Acquired the M6 from a fellow rff.com denizen earlier this month. Got the Rokkor a few days later from KEH.

Thank you for the tip !! Unfortunately, my one has been adjusted to 1.5 V and the fitting Varta V625u (or LR9) is not available in Japan (except maybe for some BMW car dealer because this battery was used in a transmitter car-key)

Any suggestion, how to back-adjust to 1.35 V ? I found some info how to open the MR and where the two potentiometers are located but it is more a try and error approach ...

(Sorry for hijacking this thread ... )

Cheers,

Thanks to SirAlien and others who have been so kind about this shot. I feel I should explain some of the context. It was taken in the cafe in the grounds of the Real Alcazar in Seville, earlier this year. I had stopped for a drink and a snack and found myself a table on the terrace, out of the direct sun. The shot itself is *almost* a found still life, in as much as I was writing my journal and checking my map for my next destination, while sitting there. The M2 was out on the table because I had been using it. All I did was a little "tidying up" (a cellophane sandwich wrapper and a crumby plate is hardly attractive after all) the photo was then taken with my G7, in jpeg mode. The only tweaking that has been applied is a little blurring to the words in the notebook - in the original they are clearly legible. I only took one shot, and this is it.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Bill

Here's my little M4-2 made in Midland, Ontario Canada. I live about 20min away from Midland. You can also see my 50mm Summicron Rigid and Voightlander Meter II

Matt, I did a double-take just now. I use the same set up.
