abufletcher Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Yeah, that's cool. But didn't you just have your camera painted because it was looking a little beat? : ) Let's see you turn your yellow M4 into one of these! And we'll look forward to seeing lots and lots of cool pix along the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_kaplan1 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Nice camera with a great lens! For a user that was a great price too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_w. Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Yeah Al, even with a CLA for all, it was a good price. Is it more worn than your M2-R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_kaplan1 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Let's just say that I had a double-stroke M3 that I sold within the past year or so that was in worse shape than this one. MUCH worse! But it still worked to perfection. The M2-R does look a bit rough though, with some brassing and dents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaijin Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 >>This has to be the coolest Leica I have ever seen.<< Sorry, but this is getting really strange. Who gives a hoot what a camera looks like? Anyone can buy a beat up old Leica, that doesn't make YOUR photos any better than if you have a beautiful new Leica, Nikon, Canon, Zeiss Ikon, Pentax, Olympus, what have you. If you want an ugly... oops I mean "cool" camera I can help you out... but it ain't going to make YOUR photos any better. Ugly or brand new hasn't made a nickels worth of difference in my photos. They suck! I, clearly, have other issues to work on with regards to my photos. Maybe you do too. I'm starting to see the merits of Grant, Jeff, Eric, and Steve's messages... and that worries me.

jason Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 my M3 is between these conditions.Recently went for CLA and the technician asked prior to seeing it the serial number,it's in 1.1million."Oh!" He said, "a "collectors"! When he saw it...it was only about fixing it!Leicas are to be used! Not collected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john dorfman Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Where do the photos of George Rodger's outfit come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feli Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 The kit was auctioned by www.westlicht-auction.com. Rodger shot Leica and Contax during the war, but seems to have switched to Nikon rangefinders at some point. My guess would be, because the Contax series was discontinued and the Nikon was a very similar in design or simply the fact that they were cheaper and Rodger was often strapped for cash.
