Great pictures OleAndre.
I've been using for a year only a summicron 50mm on my leica m240.
Love going out with only one lens and I love the moody old look of the new summicron

What a great set! I love the look! I agree the 50 Summicron is a great lens, I found I definitely preferred it to the Summilux Asph. I'm using one myself presently (the V4 with a focusing tab).
If you're a fan of the Summicron though do yourself a favor and try the Elmar-M if you ever get a chance. I suspect you'd like it!

Thats a good comparison Edward. And Hong Kong is a mecca for second hand photo gear. Large enough supply to keep prices low.
I sold my M2 and bought a mint M6 with the original box, papers, strap, and receipt for 1200USD (.72 black). I am so happy with the M6. And I hope to give it to my kids one day.
I was searching for an M6 for about 6 months and found this steal.

To put things in perspective, I ordered a mint M7 from Hong Kong for 1920$ including shipping to Bangkok, and another Ex+ for 1750$. The seller declared each at 100$ so I paid a ridiculously small amount of tax.I sold my M2 and bought a mint M6 with the original box, papers, strap, and receipt for 1200USD (.72 black).

Here is another photo with the new Summaron 28 f/5.6 and the M10, both is color and B&W, the latter processed with Silver Efex. Shot at ISO 100, f/8 and 1/125 sec. (I'm posing both version because some people have expressed interest in this).

Abram - I really chuckled when I read your comment "I eventually got the camera to go with my brochure"
Ole - I know that the discussion has moved on from your original quote of seeing an M3 locally for US$2000, however my own M3 buying history comprised a 'bargain' grade 1955 M3 DS from KEH.com for a mere US$599 (May 2014). I sold that due cashflow after purchase of a Summarit 50, but bought a 1956 SS from a Texan seller on the Leica Classifieds FB group for US$795 in May 2016. As I've previously comented on here I do not intend to sell this one.
I have also previously owned a very nice M6 Classic. I like the vintage M3 for its exceptional viewfinder and of course the build-quality from that era. I would like another M6 sometime (an M7 even more). I had a cosmetically beaten-up Hexar RF, bought cheaply here for only about Aus$400. It is an aperture priority rangefinder with M7-like functionality and autowind. It's a great camera but it just didn't satisfy like a Leica.
Also liking to shoot medium-format film, I rationalised my Leica film-camera ownership down to just the M3. I also have some SLRs and I really need to streamline what I won, or shoot a larger proportion of the holdings! Since you have already sampled medium format you probably know that it opens up yet another realm of satisfaction and particular rendering!

One of the reasons I decided to change my M9 for an M240, was to enable me to use other lenses.
One such valued lens is the Macro-Elmarit R 60 f/2.8. I had a quick play with it today, on a dull late autumnal afternoon.
This was the second shot with it fitted using a cheap Pixco LR-LM adapter, at f4 and still using the previous code I had set.

That seems like a good deal, especially when comparing to what I can choose between here in Norway at the moment (one mint boxed M6TTL is on the market for around 1800USD...). Just curious: What made you swap from M2 to M6?

Thank you for sharing your experience David. The M3 definitely has its charm I think, build quality being one thing, the viewfinder another. And it forces you to slow down to evaluate all incoming information. Light, composition, shadows, nothing can be taken for granted before you push the shutter. At least that is what I enjoyed about my old medium format. So for now, as long as I find a good copy at a decent price in Hong Kong, I think that will be my choice.
All the best,
Ole

I haven't been commenting lately as I have been on vacation, and focusing more on shooting. Great work guys, I really enjoy looking at the high quality images here.
Here's an image of an old barn from last week during a huge storm front that was bringing tornado warnings, though nothing really came of it other than a bunch of rain and a little bit of wind.

Ole - Tack för de snälla orden. I've only had a chance to shot about ten frames with it, but it looks like an interesting lens. Some people have commented that it's better for film than digital, but I'm not so sure. On RFF Maggie O suggested that I use the Silver Efex red filter "to make the geometry pop more". Here is a version in which I did that, but some more is still needed to male it really good.

In December, when I was in Thailand, I bought a single-stroke M3 from an Japanese eBay store. It had a CLA two months earlier and came in perfect condition for US$950, which was about US$300 less than one advertised at Tamarkin in EX++ condition: the only issue was some minor scuffing on the top plate, which I cannot see without my reading glasses.

I've found that the 90mm 2.8 Elmarit has a similar look to this one. I think I may get it for landscapes
