Have you look at the Contax T3 in black. My friend loves his. He

used to have a minilux but is vary happy now with his T3. Just

wondering. scott ;0)

All though I never bought anything from Ken Hansen I go there

every time I'm in N.Y. I would go there to buy Leica gear if I lived

closer to N.Y. :0) Scott

No problems with M6ttl. Got a new 90 APO with a chunk of dust

on the back of the front element. Yikes!! Must have been right

before lunch for quality control when the lens went by. :0) scott

You can buy this bag for $15.00(or Cheaper) at any ARMY/NAVY

store in the US. Plus it will be worn in to give it character. I think

the ARMY called these ammo packs during the Korean war.

AAAAAAHHHHHHH fashion.

:0) scott

Does anyone know where I can find info on 80mm f:4.5 Leica

Photar, on the internet? Thanks much Scott

I have a F-802 camera bag for my

M6ttl,35mm,90APO,SF-20,6rolls of film. I purchased it after

looking at a lot of bags, and for the most part I'm pretty happy

with it. Domke nonslip camera straps/ are the best IMO. The one

thing that I found is that people dont think I'm carrying a camera

BUT they do think I have a laptop! So I think that buying this for

fear of theft is a bit funny. I've found my next bag though

Crumpler Bags from JOBO. No one thinks this is a camera bag. I

really like the velcro on the front flap compared to the Domke

F-802. Maybe to crazy of a design for Leica photographers. ;0)

Happy Day, Scott

Vermeer, I bet would go for a medium format camera. I think

Degas would use Leica M's. Happy Day Scott

Im out here in West Mass. Moving to Boston soon. E-mail me if

you get the Leica club started. Thanks, Scott

How do you afford Leica? I'm in debt up to my eye's with my new

m6ttl and 35mm summicron. Its been worth it. I was a

commercial photographer that stop taking pictures after work

because it became my job instead of the fun. I use to have fun

when I went to photo school and the Leica and that one lens is

making me think about photos again. Does anyone want to buy

my F-100 and 20mm AF & 24-85 mm AF / Mamiya M7

150mm&65mm my VISA will love you.

Anyone ever seen h1>Three Kings<h1? It came out about three

years ago. It was shot beautifully. A lot of blowen out highlights

crunchy saturated color. Rent it if you haven't

Happy Day, Scott

I had the 90mm APO for short time and thought it was stiff feeling

to. Long story short, I own a 35mm Cron now and I feel that it is

fairly stiff feeling also. Compared to older Leica Lenses down at

my camera store. Because of this I think when I add a 50mm to

the line up I'll buy a older lens.

I have a Domke F-803. It's so small no one every knows you

have a camera. Also Domke bags have a great shoulder straps

that dont slip when walking around. The only problem is the you

must make sure your clasp on the front flap is closed or your M6

could go flying out! No velcro on the front flap to act as a

insurance if you dont clasp. My domke F2 bag for the F-100 has

velcro in the front. Who Knows!! I could sew some in I guess. I'm

thinking of buy one of these new

bags.http://www.crumplerusa.com/index.html

I saw them at the N.Y. photo show and on one of these boards.

They have the VELCRO on front flap. I'm waiting for a catalog

from the company.

Good Day, Scott

That sucks!!!!!!!!! SORRY Stuart

I learned this trick early on from a photo journalist so as not to

leave or have my camera equip. behind. Always, when you sit

down and down put your camera bag on the ground, put your

foot through the bag strap and snug it aginst your ankle. It

become second nature after a while. Prevents theft to. Hope this

helps some one else out. I know I would have left my bag at

some photo assinment by now if he wouldn't have told me.

Sorry again. Scott

I have a $10.00 Holga right next to my $1500.00 Leica M6TTL.

What is junk if your getting the ideas in your mind out and onto

film.

I have only had my M6ttl for a few months and still getting use to

how quite it is. This last week I was shoot some artist in a

critique. When I brought the photo back a few days latter they all

were asking me when I was taking pictures. AAAhh the Leica! My

F-100 was like a grenade lancher going off AND holding. quitly

say by--->scott

Great photos!!! I like your shot of the "McDonald's" trash man. I

like your thoughts on using it in a studio setting. Keep up the

good work.

Feeling bad? I was assisting for a photographer and returned to

his house at the end of a long day. I went to get in my car, when

I saw him through his camera bag on the back of his tallgate....

Yep, I watched as a front heavy bag tipped and rolled out three

Hasselblad and two Leica lenses down his driveway. Swearing

does'nt come close to what that guy went into that day. Ugh!

-->Scott

What the best store "you've had luck with" in the USA for used

Leica lenses. Thanks Scott

If your only scan negs for the web make sure you only scan at

72dpi jpg format. Screen resolution is only 72dpi, jpg is themost

widly use file format for web. Before your done with the image in

photoshop make sure it's not more than 250k so it will load fast.

You will want to scan for the best result from the negative (i.e.

Dmax and Dmin). The best scanner is depending on how much

money you have. Just like your leica you get what you pay for.

The Imacon Flextight Percision2 is the one I use.

Hope this helped. Scanning for high quality results is a whole

new can of worms. But it's fun and no inhaling of those nasty

fixer fumes. Scott

Does any one out there know where I can get a rubber eye cap

for the back of my M6. I'm sick of whipping my glasses up to

compose my photos. Thanks for any help. >>Viva La Leica<<

I am also a new Leica M6 user and I bought the 35mm

Summicron ASPH as my first lens. I love it and the camera.
