My gossen luna-pro digital f got dropped on cement and is totalled (aak!) any sources for domestic

repair?

I use my 40mm Summicron C with my M6 all the time. I did the simple filing of the

rangefinder cam so it indexes the proper 35mm frameline. Seach photo.net for instructions

on how to do this or see your favorite service person.

I have a serenar 100mm and it behaves absolutely like any other screw mount lens. If other

lenses focus correctly then the serenar is suspect.

there was an article and a portfolio of images in Leica World some time back done with the

O...superb images and a good article on using it.

as an LHSA member (and contribuitor to the magazine) I'd think you'd be interested in some

comments from people that actually use the camera...

the shutter speed sequence goes off at 1/50th of a second...the older camera didn't have the

1/50th speed...so you'd have to take a manual reading and convert it...

I have a III, IIIa, and a IIIb...the III has engraving just like yours, the later ones have the DRP

under the Leica script...

I have a 2.8C, the last of the unmetered Rolleis. It's terrific. Super sharp and the negs scan

beautifully. It's a wonderful machine.

there's a way to adjust the position of the "dot" on the lens. it involves removing the 4

screws on the back and under the plate there is a way to move the holes. There is a written

procedure somewhere on this, maybe VC's website. I did it on mine.

what you're seeing is the first results of Leica hiring Chiat-Day as an advertising agency. C-D

is most know for the Nike ads...the ads are appearing as you note in some very high end

magazines. That's probably the first time back in the Geographic since the 50's.

Erhardt told us at the October LHSA meeting in San francisco most of these matters. He said

all the M lenses would work as normal. and they planned some new wide lenses (a 21?) to

handle the wide ends of things. the new lenses would also work on the film M's. The LHSA is

having its '06 meeting at Solms and Leica is running a "Leica akademie" for the attendees. we

heard this week that they will be using the digi M in the classes! so the thing exists. Only

20 openings for the akademie but still some vacancies. You could still join and go.
