This is the only M viewfinder camera by omission of the rangefinder itself. Good luck anyway!

Interesting fact for collectors might be that the hinged M4-type rewind was first introduced with this model, M4 came out in 1967, if I got that right: Serial Numbers Leica Cameras - Leica Wiki (English)

Nice superwide set: Very clean body from the first batch 1966, but long times (1s-1/15) sticky, hence the price. Lens without scratches or mould, generic LTM to M adapter, original Voigt finder, original front cap. I am in Spain. Ich spreche auch Deutsch. También hablo Español. I would like to have €650,- net to me.

My price is 890€, only the Summaron 1754512!

I have too many sweet Summarons... So, this one has to go! Original screwmount Summaron. Very nice condition, see pics. Focus and aperture perfect. Clean glass, minimal dust, works perfectly. I am in Spain. Insured shipping at cost. Spreche auch Deutsch. También hablo Español. Good light!!! Knut

<p>This way, you might WIN TOO.</p>

<p>Especially Steve and also �James, great insights here, I´m afraid we would have to move this to the philosophy forum;)</p>

<p>The flash should fire at any shutter speed, but from 1/60 upwards you would get increasingly wide black areas in your� negs as the second curtain starts its travelling before the first curtain opened completely. AFAIK there is no prevention of firing the flash at higher speeds present in M film cameras.</p>

<p>SB 28 was my choice, already lying around. Whenever possible, I use flash's A-mode and bounce. Reliable, but a bit topheavy, like all hot shoe mounted flashes on a M.</p>

<p>Last stop.</p><div></div>

<p>Jamie, I have and have had different 21mm finders. I still like best the metal lyra shaped Leitz finder. It has rounded brightlines. I once broke one when it fell onto concrete ground (shattered glas inside). The newer plastic ones might resist impacts better, and have a somewhat helpful lock. The Zeiss is certainly the best in clarity, but has a brightline which includes the near parallax, only marked by two little stripes, which suggest a FOV of a 43mm on Mamiya 7 (6x7). Also, in the Zeiss the scene is of higher magnification (bigger). To see the complete brightlines on all of them your eye must be dead centered, which is a good thing to achieve framing precision, as far as this goes with an external VF.<br> Jochen, I think you mean Kobalux/Avenon. They are huge like they were meant for a Nikonos. And probably collectibles.</p>

<p>Follow up: Leica will kindly replace the sensor for free, charging only for service/CLA. Thanks lads.</p>
