jeff_drew4 Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 I am seriously considering a digital camera, mostly for grins and occasional snapshots. Does this really work? Quality comparison to a Nikon Coolpix 2100 or any similar digicam? Martin, Have you tried this yet? Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted May 8, 2003 Author Share Posted May 8, 2003 Jeff, People who used the 1.3 Meg digital Leica M3 says it worked, I believe this 2.1 Meg version will be better<p> If Minox can put a 2.1 meg chip inside digital Leica M3, they alreay have the technology to put a 2.1 meg chip inside a Minox camera such as Minox EC style case, and that is what I am waiting for. <p> A TLX style 4 meg digital camera will be even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_drew4 Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I think you are right on! A TLX framed 3 or 4 Mpixel with a cute USB/Firewire port would be outstanding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted August 20, 2003 Author Share Posted August 20, 2003 The newer Leica M3 2.1 M digital now has a 3.O red dot on the frontof camera instead of the 2.1 red dot seen in the picture above.<p>Optical resolution still remains at 2.1M, software enhancement boostsit to 3.0M.<p> The lens is also different from 1.3MP version<p> M3 1.3 MP digital has a 10.3mm f 3.0 digital lens.<p> M3 2.1 MP digital has a 9.6mm f 2.8 digital lens.<p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted August 20, 2003 Author Share Posted August 20, 2003 The Leica M3 2.1M comes in a very nicely made dovetailed wood box with brass hinged and clap. The type of box you get only when buying very expensive Minox camera models such as gold Minox, platinum Minox... <p> The metal camera it is a close replica of orginal Leica M3, with movable film advance lever, even the rewind knob can turn. Very pretty<p> Once installed the software from the accompanied CD, downloanding image to computer is quite easy: as soon a USB cable connects the DDC with computer through an included USB cable, picture files are automatical retrieable from a fold DCIM, you can copy this folder to a newer position.<p> Quality of M3 2.1 is quite good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsbc Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Actually these pics are much much better than I thought. Thanks Martin. I would have thought that you would get some flare for the last pictures. What about photos take on ordinary, non-sunny days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 Johnson, the results from Leica M3 2.1 exceed my expectation, it is far better than what I can get out of Minox EC + Minocolor, and also more economical. One roll of Minocolor 36 exp cost about US$12, or C$18. One CR2 battery cost about C$15, which means if I can get just one "roll" of 40 exp from M3 2.1 I am even, the rest is saving; so far I have taken about 120 exp or four 'rolls'.<p> The M3 2.1 is so very cute, it body is metal ( aluminium ) not plastic like most P&S digitals cameras<p> Minox GmbH's Classic camera endevour has being a great success, some of the models such as Minox Hasselblad SWC sold so well that very few dealer has any stock left. <p> The Leica M3 2.1 camera sells well too, Minoxlab even raised its price from $249 to $299.<p> What about M3 1.3M ? Usually when a new model comes out, older model price drop, not M3 1.3M, it is more expensive than M3 2.1, because few of it left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsbc Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 If only they come up with one for the Rolleiflex - the bottom lens can be the taking lens while the top one is for flash!. Even SWC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 With the success of M3 digital, I guess is that IIIf, Hasselblad, Rolleiflex 2.8 digital models may be coming soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
