    <p>I thought it was Yak fat that contributed the odor.</p>

    <p>The thread is not identical. M 39 (mostly Russian) is a metric 39 x 1 mm pitch, while the Leica is 39 (metric) to 1 mm Whitworth pitch.</p>

    <p>Buy the Wein cell once. W<br> hen the battery expires, push it out of the adapter ring and replace with a 675 hearing aid battery.</p>

    <p>Looks like you have one of the later model aluminum barrel Sonnars. I have a brass barreled one adapted for LTM that is heavy as a hand grenade. A fine lens in any case.</p>

    <p><strong>In a Police Lab a roll of film has been developed and printed, the technician is looking at the contact sheet with a loop, which we see through as well. </strong><br> <strong><br /></strong>Do you really think there is anyone left in the movie making industry who knows what film is? All the police shows these days show the CSI types shooting with a digital camera that strangely makes noises like a motor drive Canon.<br> <strong> </strong></p>

    <p>Aw, Gee, there's a neat old water tower nearby my new home that I was planning on shooting just for you. We will miss you.</p>

    <p>Also the first Canonet, 1961</p>

    <p>Of course if it was ever coated, it isn't now.</p>

    <p>Never wanted to go there anyway.</p>

    <p>Buy the Wein cells once only. The batteries can be manually pressed out and replaced with zinc-air hearing aid batteries</p>

    <p>I have a couple folding Kodaks that I am constantly (it seems) puttering with, a Vigilant and a Tourist.<br> Also have a Welta 10x15 (cm) plate camera for which I have fashioned film sheaths for the plate holders from some Graflex film holders. The bellows in all are serviceable for the time being.</p>

    <p>Why? You can't improve on perfect.</p>

    <p>Get similar results from adapting a 616 camera to 120 film.</p>

    <p>Picasso used a fed 2, the "M3D" got that auction figure because it was a custom built Leica for David Douglas Duncan, not only because it was used to photograph Picasso. See Duncan's book 'Photo Nomad" for details.</p>

    <p>Nice stuff. I have a 3.5 e planar (no meter) and am trying to justify the cost of bay II accessories.<br> Mostly I use a bay II to series six adapter which suits my needs at the moment. </p>

    <p>Pick up a beater in Singapore and get the M3 properly repaired when you get home. I've repaired many cameras in my years but my Leicas always go to the pros. </p>

    <p>I remember this issue well. I think it was the first photo magazine I ever bought. The Grow Your Own article has always stuck with me.</p>

    <p>Black duct tape.</p>

    <p>Already have two M3's w/ 50mm Summicron but I'd like a black MP</p>

    <p>Reminds me, it's time to exercise my 3.5E (no meter) as soon as it is warm enough for my fingers not to freeze. It's an even 0 degrees F this evening. Can't wait to do some shooting in my new neighborhood. There's a derelict barn 1890's school and an old town hall needing my attention.</p>

    <p>there are variations in the models, depending on where the end market was to be. I had a hard time determining that mine even existed. I believe mine to be a C or E. I purchased it in Germany in 1963 with 75mm 3.5 Planar lens, bay II and no meter. I belive the US importer at that time had a model that offered the choice of Xenotar or Planar and had a meter. It was labeled as the "E" model. </p>

    <p>One more time. Great photos are made by the photographer, not the camera.</p>

    <p>The focusing lever is prone to breakage. Keep well lubricated.</p>
