patrik in sweden

Palle,

once you have looked at the Arca Swiss B1 with QR, you will need nothing else for the rest of your life. Only the plates from reallyrightstuff.com or kirk.

Not sure if you are in Copenhagen, but check with Martin at Photografica.

 

good luck.

Anders,

 

try Schönherrs Foto on Upplandsgatan in Stockholm. Not sure if this is the right place but they do know Leica.

Hans, inte illa! Jag köpte ett XPan kit till mycket bra pris.

Livsfarlig butik!!

 

Trevlig plåtning.

Jay, as a Swede, I am not sure what to say.

I have been brought up in BMW's, my dad has had about 25 of them in 30 yrs. Only one Volvo has passed through, I think he had it for about a month or so...

 

I just bought myself, to my wife's dimay, a Hasselblad XPan version I, got such a good deal inkl. 45 & 90mm lenses. On the point of being ugly I have to disagree, think it looks alright to me.

 

At least a whole lot better than an M5, that is Leica not BMW.

Dan, topless, is that you or the Jeep?

My Nooky device is something completely diffrent...;-)

Hans,

är det Schönherrs eller LP foto i Stockholm??

Oavsett kör på TTL versionen.

Lycka till.

Comes in pairs

 

2x M6TTL's

 

2x Nikon F5's

 

2x Jeeps ('96 Cherokee & -88 Wrangler)

 

2x 911's (-88 Turbo & -92 RS)

 

Is that OK James?;-)

Have you tried YFO in Göteborg?

They sell the brand but not sure if they stock it.

In London try also Jessops on New Oxford Street and CameraWorld, they are off Oxford Street, can't remember the address

 

Lycka till!

Can anybody pls let me know if there is a shutter release cable for the Xpan, version I? I know there is for II, but not sure if this fits version I.

 

Thanks.

Gil, what lenses do you use together with your M's to fit in the bag?

Any M-grips etc?

 

Thanks.

Who can forget her in "Trading Places"...

 

Another M6(black)user is Pierce Brosnan, the current 007. How's that for a comparison between the gadget-oholic vs. real real life!

 

BTW, to my knowledge Andretti has never raced F1. Cart, yes.

I have one for sale.

Comes boxed,pouch,both caps, Heliopan UV filter, shade+ Leica finder in pouch.

All is mint- condition. Minor wear on the VF pouch, small scratch on front lens cap.

As I am in Sweden, this may be more intresting to EU citizens.

Have you looked at the Domke F-803 or the J-803? Amazing bags.

After seeing Hans Pahléns site,

I got the MClassic as shown, they have upgraded them, but I seem to only use the Domke.

 

Good luck

Sorry, must have missed it first time around.

Nikon user since 1994, Leica user since 1998 (got hooked when living London), gear-head, bag-oholic, amateur. Lives in Falsterbo, Sweden.

Harvey,

I know what you mean, I used to live at 56 Vincent Sq.(before moving back to my native Sweden), just around the corner. This fair always had a dangerous combination, good stuff at good prices. Buying Leica stuff was normally good as the Leica "fondle-aholics" were mainly showed their filled Billingham bags of what they had with them intead of buying...

I have them also permanent on my TTL's, 1 black for B&W film in that body & 1 chrome for colour in that. I do´n't rewind so do not have the battery/sensitivity issue, but you will gain an extra stop as previously stated.

Yes Pablo, it is a fake.

Please send it to me and I will see to it being properly destroyed;-)

Al,

thanks for taking care of me...;-)

 

Forgot to mention that the Leitz VF is the plastic version, ie exactly the same as the Leica version, less the script.

I have purchased via post a 2nd hand VF for the 21mm M lens.

The dealer told me the VF was a Leica, and upon receiving the VF, I

see it is a Leitz version. The VF was described as Mint- and it is.

But as the lens is a brand new ASPH-model I would like them to be "of

the same age". This may sound picky to some of you, but can someone

shed some light when a transition between Leitz to Leica was done. Or

have they produced until the end side by side, before being replaced

by the combined 21/24/28 VF.

 

I am interested in help, not ignorante comments.

Thanks in advance.

Palle,

 

talk to Martin at Photografica in Copenhagen.

If you wish to buy from Sweden with the good exchange rate between DKK and SEK, I can recommend Schonherrs Foto in Stockholm (http://www.schoenherrsfoto.se/)and Kodak Center in Gothenburg (http://www.algonet.se/~kicgbg/. Both are good Leica dealers

 

Good luck.

I am in Malmö, south of Sweden (just across from Copenhagen in Denmark). To my bank managers "dismay", I can verify more camera shops than perhaps should...

More than happy to help!

Thanks Ralph,

although a joke, would be very intresting to do a test of this works, non-lethal... I am looking to find something for my F5 and 20-35/2.8 AF-D zoom, (I know this is Leica Forum sorry)to get some action mountainbike shots.

Ralph, nice shot!

What type of clamp to use for the F5/bike combo?
