Leica Porn

We haven't had any Leica beauty-shots for a while.<div></div>

hmmm... that's that "mature" stuff. But I won't judge.

what a slut

I'll have the same combo as Peter... but without the Leica.

I love my 85/2 Nikor but what went through my mind was the ad slogan "This Bud's For You". Well, I always have papers and my Zippo works in the wind. It's dated August-1955 and was issued for the "18th ALL-AMERICAN SOAP BOX DERBY". Imagine giving out cigarette lighters at a kids' sports event now? But it is about the same age as the Nikor.

Red. It looks like it has the "big bump" non-rounded top plate contour characteristically found only in M3s within the first 600 or so made. Or is it my imagination?

pant, pant...<p><p>

No, Eliot, the first M3 above has a smooth edge. It's early enough to lack the frameline preview, but not early enough to have a glass pressure plate or the big bump. It is a real peach. It was completely overhauled by Ken Hanson's people, and has new Vulcanite, silky mechanics, dead-on shutter speeds, and the brightest vf I've seen on an M3 so far. That's my day-to-day camera, and what a treat to use it!

Sincere apology for the size. Sorry. Reposting<div></div>

Not a small Leica. And yet there are those who love it!<div></div>

I'll right. I give up Matthew. <I>WHAT</I> is that surface that your M5 is on? It looks like

huge slab

of peanut brittle.

The saddest and most pathetic thing in all the photographic world must be equipment wankers taking pictures of their cameras...

No, El, it is comments like yours. The saddest of this ilk, I ever saw was a guy younger than me who was my boss. The only photo in his office was of his dog, a show purebred something or other. His wife and baby daughter didnt make the grade for office display.

 

As for this thread, an interesting range of bodies and lenses.

Would you go in a bar that serves that beer you don't like, then sit

around endlessly complaining about it? <p>

Don't trouble yourself - it's a rhetorical question.

wasn't el fang/al feng the biggest "equipment wanker" on the LUG years ago?
