summitar Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I have an M2, M3, and M6 classic which I bought from trusted sources. I also have several screwmounts, which I prefer because they are so compact, although having squinty viewfinders and are a PITA when it comes to loading film. But I have other cameras that I like even better. Namely, Konica Auto S2, Zeiss Contax IIa, Nikon F2, F3 and F100, Canon F-1 (original), and a Retina IIIC (big C) with an accurate selenium meter. Why the el cheapo Konica? Great lens, great VF/RF, accurate CdS meter, and I don't have to worry that I am carrying the family jewels in my frail hands.

thomasw Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I recommend buying here or on RFF before anywhere else. Just put a WTB Ad in the classifieds and you will get offers. In my view, you will be able to acquire a non-metered M2/M3/M4-P and an older summicron 50/2 collapsible lens. Ideally the M3 + 50mm summicron will do what you want well; it is a very versatile little kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteradownunder Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Get a user M3 with an old user 50 cron. Shoot TRX, soup it up yourself and enjoy the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
