It says Leitz on mine aswell.

I got the "Here is New York" 911 book, it is good.

Hi guys!

 

I just bought a JOBO Duolab. I'm intending to use it for Color slide

processing.

 

What chemicals do you recommend?

 

Is the JOBO any good for B&W?

 

 

Thanks

Andreas

I have not bought the leather Leica bag yet,

 

What about a Domke F2? Too big?

I've found an older Leitz M bag. It's made of really nice "used" black leather.

 

Three small pocket inside + place for film/filters in an "outside" style pocket a?la Billingham.

I'm going to carry:

 

M6

 

3lenses

 

Flash (on occations)

 

Lightmeter

 

Film 3-5 rolls

What kind of bag do you guys use to carry your Leica gear around in?

 

I used a large 445 Billingham for m Canon gear, but this bag is way too big or

Leica M.

 

I whant someting stylih, yet refined.

From what I've seen and experienced first hand, the CMOS sensor is alot better at hih sensitivities. I'm not a tech-freak knowing all the physical and technological differenses between CCD and CMOS, but generally the CMOS is better.

 

Leica M8 uses the Kodak CCD right?

 

Low noise at ISO1600 is not existent as of yet:)

 

But Man do I want the M8.

OK, I know! I'm officially spamming!

 

But! You know the rangetest I did yesterday at 1 meter? Now I got 101cm From the target (Tape on wall with small stripes of black ink made with ruler) when the lens was at 1m. A change of 3cm, In the right direction. I can't think I will notice this 1cm at F2 when most of my shots are taken on city streets.

 

Do you?

While checking the inside of the lens mount I just noticed that the lens mount hade a few of the screws keeping it bolted to the camera housing a little bit loose. I thighted them carefully, and my "focus problem" got a lot better!

OK, I've got it. The whole thing looks simple enough, but the Screw is really thight. I don't want to force it. It won't budge. Should it have a high resistance?

 

Or are you however talking about one of the inner screws. I see 3 screws inside related to the coupling arm.

 

I'm pretty used to fiddling with small stuff, I have built models all my life, and I'm maybe too careful?

No one has done this adjustment themselves?

I think the vertical is also a tad off. Is this serious or just a simple adjustment thing?

Thanks!

 

I've got the one on the left.

 

Just finding out that I did not overpay for my camera.

 

Payed 1600e for a nice M6 with this lens with hood and a hand made "Luigi Crecenzi" half case for the M6.

No, I'm a new Leica owner... wish to find some info...

From my images it looks sharp, I think it's as simple as it's just a bit off.

Well actually I can find it, I've got it on my camera that's in my lap.

 

However, I can't find one looking like it...

 

On the Lens it says:

 

LEITZ WETZLAR 2330962 SUMMICRON 1:2/50

 

MADE IN GERMANY

 

Really nice looking, I would have to say A- or near mint.

 

Foucuses from 0,7m. It is Black. Has a front diameter of 39mm.

At 1m, the focus is about 2cm off. When focus is at 1m the camera is at 98cm from the target. This complies pretty good with the camera not getting all the way to infinity, stops at around 50m, I know I said 30m before, but I re-checked this.

 

Is 2cm at 1m a big deal?

I've got good small screwdrivers, but I feel that the screw is very stiff. I don't know how stiff it should be? Is this normal?

 

Is it the screw at the tip of the arm, the part with a spinning wheel around the screw, it touches the lens while the lens is in place.

I love the Leica forum. I think the answers here are of the highest quality of all the forums on photo.net.

 

Thank you all for this!

 

I was just out shooting a few frames while walking my dog. I took on a subject I often shoot. Doors. Or entrances to buildings. Here I really apreciated the matter of having a bigger viewfinder than the recorded picture itself.

Hi guys!

 

Yet another question from me. At a Leica FAQ page I found a post saying that

you can adjust the focusing yourself.

 

And actually I believe the focusing is a bit off, this is noticable since, I

can't get very far objects to focus.

 

How do I do this? Something about simply turning a screw.

 

Thanks!

Al, the leather case is already "aged". Since Luigi has to option of "vintage" look leather:)

I live in FInland. Leicas are expensive and a rare sort here.

 

OK, so the 1,25X increase could be a good investment if used 50mm + lenses in my case.

 

How much is one of these?

One more question popped up: What is the 1.25x Eyepiece Magnifier? Will I get a bigger viewfinder image with this one? Usable with the M6?

Thanks Paul!

 

OK, so I have the standard .72.

 

But I remember the M6TTL that I tried in a shop to have been a bit bigger in terms of the physical size of the viewfinder... Or am I delusional?

 

Are these Magnifications interchangeable? Or if I would like to get a .85 at some point my only option is to get a different camera house?
