Thanks everyone for your replies. I don't remember the weather being an issue when I shot in London. I find it easier to

street shoot in grey days, because metering is simplified and you can focus on the composition. I agree that from a

commercial standpoint, these shots might not pop. I try not too do much tweaking in photoshop, since I want the image too

stand on its own as I saw it. Again, thank you for your comments and will take into consideration turning up the contrast in

photoshop.

Not all M3 will go down to .7. Mine, M3 DS dog ears, adjusted by DAG, will only go

down to .8. Later model ones have a different rangefinder assembly.

Anyone know what Arista II should be exposed for if I develop it in Diafine? Can't find this info anywhere.

Thank you very much!

You can use the current elmar-m 2.8 chrome screw in hood on your collapsible, or for the

matter any summicron until the one with the pull-out hood, and you have a very compact

lens. It also does a good job of keeping your fingers of the glass.

Someone asked if I had more, and I do, because I shot 1-2 rolls per day, and my wife and I were in Italy three weeks! But, even though it's very difficult to "kill your darlings," I've attempted to limit the number I put up, and I still feel I should focus the album even more. It took time narrowing it down as much as I did, and ultimately I favored snaps where there was an interesting facial expression.

Thank you for looking,

third time maybe!

I finally got around to posting some of my Italy photos,

all taken in October/November (Rome, Venice &

Florence). Everything shot with an M3/50mm Summicron

on Ilford XP2. Thank you for looking, and all comments

are welcomed.

Thanks for posting these photos. They were a pleasure to look at. It looks like you traveled

light (equipment), and it paid off big time!

I'm thinking of purchasing a leather skin for my M3. However, I'd like to get

the self-timer removed befor the purchase. I don't use the timer much, and it

kind of gets in the way if you carry the camera for hours at a time, or if it's

very cold outside. How difficult would it be? Is this better left to Sherry

Krauter?

Thanks,

How much should a brand new M6 TTL (.85) from authorized USA dealer cost? This would include the 3-

year warranty.

Thanks,
