<p>Thank you all for the information - it has been very helpful.</p> <p>Right now I'm looking at a Leica M2 and Voigtlander Color-Skopar 35mm f/2,5 combo, both of which seem in good condition. I will see them in person next week. The asking price for the combination is $850.</p> <p>The M2 is from 1965, however has a nasty engraving on the top from a previous owner - would it be reasonable to find a spare top plate to replace it with in the future, that won't cost me an arm and a leg? The lens is almost new, but the camera has not been CLA'd. Owner says that the shutter speeds seem accurate and the exposures are coming out correct.</p> <p>If this isn't a recommended combination, or seems like it may have something poor about it, I'll probably go with the Canon P and a 35mm lens (lens type tbd).</p> <p>Best Regards.</p>

<p>Thank you all for the replies thus far - they have opened my eyes into what the options are and how to best proceed. I'll take some time and consider whether a Leica thread mount, M-series, or other rangefinder such as the Canon P would be suit me. It may also be best to wait 6-8 months until I can increase my budget to get the most practical combination.</p> <p>The only thing that I'm still not clear on: If I choose to go 28mm or 35mm, let's say M-mount, how do I know if the camera will support the lens in terms of framelines, and if some external accessory will allow it to do so?</p> <p>Best Regards.</p>

Thanks Steve - you mention that the combo isn't good for landscapes... Which one would be better for that purpose?

<p>Thank you all for the replies so far.</p> <p>I'll look further into the M2/3/4 as until now my focus was only on the screw-mount Leicas. I'm guessing the M-series will be easier to find in good condition, and get spare parts for - when they are needed. Tamarkin seems to have a decent selection, although I'm not sure if they generally sell at the going market prices or higher.</p> <p>Also regarding the lens, I will do some more research and see what else is available aside from the Summicron, that won't be fogged up/moulded/hazy etc. On that note, can newer lenses be used with the older M-series from the 1950-60s? </p>

<p>Hello,</p> <p>I'm heavily leaning towards getting back into film photography, primarily as I've come to despise sitting in front of a computer for hours on end sorting and editing files - I'd much rather set up a darkroom and develop/process that way; I have all the required equipment for it, and there's something special about it when compared to staring at an LCD screen.</p> <p>Specifically, I'm interested in acquiring and learning how to use the old Leica Rangefinders. From browsing this forum, it seems as if a Summicron 50mm lens is the best quality norm, while I'm not too sure on the body. The budget would be $1,000 including CLA (if required). All the photography would be black and white, no exceptions.</p> <p>If anyone has recommendations on where to best acquire the older Leicas, and where to service them if, and when it is required, I'd really appreciate it... please limit the scope to Canada and USA!</p> <p>Thanks,<br> Martin</p>
