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:

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.

Good light!!!

<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>From a dump. Symmetry goes boink!</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>

<p>M8, SA f4</p>

<p>Yes of course, Emir! You can also distinguish the coma blobs. Here the same @ f2:</p><div></div>

<p>Looks like a 50mm Summicron v4, right? They run around 800-1000 (put your fav currency), I think it would be an economical (almost) total loss if you would turn it in for a qualified repair. But: If the images look fine, and you asked just out of curiosity, keep calm, keep on clickin'! Many lenses with this kind of fault simply deliver perfect pictures!</p>

<p>Also Summilux 35mm @ 1.4.</p><div></div>

<p>Let's see...</p><div></div>

<p>Very nice chiaroscuro, Barry!</p>

<p>So I tried again the following morning, short shutter speeds, interesting"<br>

Yes, thanks, I am aware!</p>

 

<p>Be reassured, James, until now we have only suppositions. The M9 is packed up waiting on pick up.<br /> Wetzlar will tell, I will report here. And yes, these are the pleiades, no sensor smudge;)</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks so far guys, at this point I think I prepare a parcel. </p>

<p>Tried new SD, formatted in camera, same issue. </p>

<p>Thanks Jos, looks exactly the same on the rear LCD. Took out battery and SD, inserted them again, changed SD card, but problem persists. No matter if I shoot JPEG, DNG or combined.</p>
