leica gear there? Thanks<div></div>

For all the Northern New England Leica / Photo enthusiast: I attend

an opening of a Boston Photographer Kris Snibbe. He has a show at the

Bates College Chapel, Lewiston Maine. Kris has a number of photos

taken in Nepal, China and in the U.S. concentrating on Buddhism.

Kris, whom I met today, shot the entire show with his Leica M6 and a

35mm lens. Kris approached me as soon as he saw the M2 over my

shoulder! Tom

It�s cold here! I�m a Leica user here in Maine/ USA. I�ve had my M7

since this spring, no problems that other users have had. I recently

found a minor problem with the M7 and cold. I was out last week and

this past morning. The temperature was a balmy 10-f degree and the

battery pooped out after 20 minutes. Now it may be the battery; they

are the originals that came with the camera and have shot > 50 rolls;

but the come back good as gold when warmed up. I have a few options

1. Replace batteries, but what are the temperature extremes for the

lithium cells?

2. A chemical hand warmer applied to the front of the camera body.

These are easily found.

3. Use my M2.

 

Any other cold weather Leica shooters out there?

I'm heading to Dallas TX this weekend, any photos stores or

dealers I should check out? Tom

I've been using my M7 since the hit the US. I've shot about 30-40 rolls. I have noticed only minor problems getting the film out of the camera. I've shot with my M2 for years; the auto exposure of the M7 more than makes up for having to pull the cartridge out with your finger. I am very happy with the M7. Tom

Again, a question for the forum. The 35mm Summaron I just bought is

mint but has a slight Haze. Will this affect picture quality. If it

needs a cleaning who? DAG�, and what it�s gonna cost. Thanks Tom

I've just purchased a 35mm Summaron 3.5 (1272627) for my M2/M7; it is

not the one with the bug eyes. I now find it doesn't correctly bring

up the 35mm frames in the viewfinder. Is this normal for this lens?

Is there a fix or should I return it to the dealer? Thank Tom

I've Shot some Konica IR and the Near IR Ilford SFX through my M7. I've noticed no major problems. Tom

WTB a Summaron 35mm F3.5 for my M2 and M7. I'm looking for a user,

looks not important. tom

I recently purchased a used Leica SF 20 flash for my M7. Does any one

have a copy they can scan and send me? I find the flash pretty

straightforward but I would like to get the most out of it�Thanks J
