Thanks for comments and feed back. I was just testing my new (first

and only) softbox. Well packed it out and shot my FM2 with my monitor

as blackground.

Very nice - would like to have a try on this one!

Axel - I picked this one up from Ricardo the Swiss version of Ebay about a year ago. It works like a dream makes super pictures is really small and light and has a centered weighted light meter. Its really worth getting one if you don't mind scanning film, the results are as good as you get with any modern gear. A camera you can stick in most coat pockets and it robust, it feels really good in the hand. I would love to pickup an old Lieca in mint condition. There is a local shop that that has a Leica M3 that 1955 model that look mint to me that keeps shouting buy me. Don't know if you have any experiance with a 1955 M3 with Summicron F=5cm 1:2 lens what do you think? (full working order mint condition) or advice or encouragement to offer.

Carl,

 

I only now saw your comment.

I'm not sure if I would have the luck to 'ebay' such a nice thing, and that it works perfect in addition.

 

Leica M3: My father was using one for a long time, but that was before I started with it.

If you have enough on the side to go for it (incl the lenses) then go I would say.

Here in Vienna we have a fine Leica shop offering also the used and they guarantee.

 

I had a R8 and glasses for some time lend by a friend - when you had this in your hand all other things become toys - - -
