  1. Hello Folks,

     

    I just got my leica M6TTL 0.58 today with 35 cron ASph, and once I put the first roll on it

    and switched the meter on I found no info inside the viewfinder like the manual says if the

    shutter exposure meter dial turned on it will give you info if the exposure correct or not by

    displaying two triangular shape and one circle LED. So far I think might be the batt but I'm

    not sure, Anyone has advise for me what to do? thanks guys and appreciate all info!.

  2. Everyone that has convinced me on getting my Leica venture and the choice is M6ttl (0.58)

    and 35/2 cron Asph. Both I got for used and probably after I've getting used with this

    combo I have plan that would like to add one more lens (90 or 75). I do have one question

    for those who use 0.58 M with tele lens such 90 how's the frame line working? I read Erwin

    Putts that 0.58 is good enough with lens up to 90 but he also recommend 0.85 for the

    lens 90 or above . So that's why while I'm saving more money to buy tele lens I would like

    to know and learn experience from other forumers. Also my other choice for tele would be

    75/2 cron, is this better than the 90/cron? to be used with 0.58 frame line. Thanks again

    everyone have a nice weekend!

  3. Seems that their price is cheaper than US and got a question about warranty or passport in

    leica terms right? do leica USA will honour the warranty? . My Dad is travelling to

    hongkong in next couple of weeks so in the mean time I'm still considering whether buy

    here in US or there to save some money. So any experience from forumers will much be

    appreciated, Thanks!.

  4. But then again I think Olympus will come out with newer E series with more pixels,

    features etc. As for now I think I have set my mind to give a try on this system and will see

    how's the performance. Thanks Guys and any other opinion all greatly appreciate it.

    PS: How're U doing Mark! I bought your famous 85/1.2 L a while back, it's damn beauty

    lens :)

  5. Hello all,

     

    How's the capability of this camera to be used for photojournalist work? I'm interested with

    the camera but lack of lenses choices for fast prime is my prime consideration. How are

    their zoom performance? . I used to have Canon 10D (never really like it with the 1.6

    factor) and now considering the 20D to upgrade ( Canon 1 series camera such as 1D mkII

    is out of reach for now). E-1 has caught my intentions so please any experience from

    forum member would be highly appreciated!.

  6. Just keep posting your pics, one will never tell whether it's from "Leica" or not. I think S.Liu

    one of those who always posted pics from His/her famous "Holga"? I have Rolleiflex 3.5

    Xenotar and love that camera but I just don't have scanner in order to post some pics ( I

    know it's lame, oh well...). Happy shooting and enjoy the TLr experience you'll love it!

  7. Ok guys, one last question on price on these two lenses. I have an offer of 35/2 cron pre

    asph with serial # 368xxxxx and 90/2.8 eLmarit M and both condition are 10 out of 10

    even they both consider used (the owner is a collector) and he offers me for $1800 with

    Lens holder that attached on the bottom of the camera and 5 filters, is this a good deal?

    thanks much people you guys are awesome!!!!

  8. Thanks Folks!!!, I've been searching and seems it is 35/2 cron is more expensive than the

    50/2 cron (all latest model) and I think I would give a try the 35 cron first. If money

    allowed I would look upon a good deal on the 50. I pretty much have the budget for 35

    cron and just have to be patient on the wait list here and the evil "BAy". One more question

    folks, do you think the new 75/2 cron would be an awesome performance? how much is

    the price? based on erwin puts that Vic gave the link above I think my camera should be

    fine with the focal length. Thanks again I'm beginning impatient to start posting pictures

    here :).

  9. Hi Guys,

     

    Camera M6TTL (0.58) is on the way (Got it from other forumer's here) and now my lens

    choice. I'm eyeing on 35/2 cron and the 50/2 cron, what would be good option for me to

    start? I appreciate any input for all forumers here and I can't wait for my new photography

    journey with leica :)

  10. Hi all,

     

    I will have an opportunity this summer to attend a fashion show event ( a friend of mine is

    one of the featured designer) and would like to know what is the usual lens to be used

    alongside the stage? also is there any specific technique? or is it just the same as

    photojournalist? thanks in advance!

  11. Okay Guys my tax fund would be in possesion shortly and I'm planning to dip in $2000 for

    my long time passion of leica M, so what can I get? a used M6 ttl with a lens maybe 35/1.4

    lux? or just 35/2 cron? I try to look at KEH.com but seems they don't have any m6ttl in

    stock so I dunno what is the market value nowdays and eBay sometimes just don't really

    have any standard on used price. Some people just bid high and put the price well above,

    anyway Can't wait for my adventure with "M" and thanks for any infos! Btw anyone selling

    their beloved M6? email me pleaseeeeeee...:)
