Some lovely empathetic subjects in those sets Edward, reminiscent of what I first noticed in your street photography. My favourites are the man with the purple top and this last one directly above.

Ole, congratulations friend! Those are both beautiful camera examples.

You have most definitely met the Ken Rockwell description of 'Leicaman', but in the nicest, purest way. (I don't rate Ken Rockwell's mutterings, but I do use his lens compendium as a useful reference).

I agree with you in the joy that is the M3, even though you have a young and very beautiful one - mine is 60!

Here's my own 1956 M3 SS, with a 1959 Summicron 50 DR. I sold the lens since.

Thank you so much David!

As for Ken Rockwell, whenever I want to read about a particular lens I always stop by hist page. His opinions aren't always worth paying attention to, but he has a fairly good overview about the facts on pretty much every lens out there.

And thats a beautiful M3! But why did you sell the Summicron 50 DR?

Congrats Ole! I agree that there is nothing quite like a classic film Leica. Both of yours look to be in amazing condition. Is it just me or is there a lot of us on this thread now buying (or re-buying) film Leica's?


Thanks Gary! The M6 needs a CLA, which I will do in June, but other than that I am very satisfied with them

Hope you are correct, and that it isn't just the people in this thread. If more people get back into film it would be great for the few labs that are left out there, giving them the necessary turnover to survive. And hopefully also allowing them to keep the prices down (or even lower them).

Great street shots Edward, I especially like the fourth - the man with the purple shirt. Great eye contact!

Hi Ole, yes I agree completely with the usefulness of certain aspects of KR's site.

I sold the 50 DR because I hardly used it on my M3 (which needs more use itself anyway). I did not want to have the lens modified to enable its use on my previous M9 and the local Leica repair centre did not know if the M240 is modifiable to use the lens (apparenetly the M9 is).
I have a Summarit 50/2.4 bought in as-new condition, a Voigtländer 50 f/1.5, a Canon LTM 50 f/1.4 and a Contax G45/2 that I am slowly converting to LM, so I have my share of fine 45-50mm lenses!

Edward - more great street photography. My clear favourite in your set is the man reading the newspaper.

Edward, oops! I didn't see the trio of images of your beautiful wife when I posted earlier. The last one of your wife is another wonderful image; well all 3 are, but I think the last of those is a favourite.
