The Tele-Elmar 135/4 wasn't quite up to the job here, with the failing light forcing the ISO to 12500 in order to maintain a reasonable shutter speed. But this morning I remembered I have a Canon 100/2 LTM which is remarkably sharp wide open for a sixty year old lens so I'll try that next.

Didn't expect to find my recently acquired Leica IIIc to be so enjoyable - I love its compactness and simplicity. I find the rangefinder focusing very accurate (after CLA of my 1947-built camera). The IIIc has a yellowish spot in the rangefinder path which makes it easier to align the two images - sort of similar what nowadays focus peaking does in mirrorless cameras - just that this was developed > 70 years ago! My M cameras don't have this spot-like rangefinder focusing anymore - not really needed either but a nice thing to have in the much smaller rangefinder focusing window of the IIIc.
Some shots taken with the IIIc and 50/2.0 Summitar (made in 1942 and came without any scratch!) plus CV 25/4.0 LTM lenses. Ilfords FP4+ 125 film developed in Xtol (1:1).

The M3s had the yellow spot and if I remember right, a slight blue tint to the rest of the viewfinder. M2s and later did not have this.

I have a M3 from 1957, and it does not have the yellow spot, but the viewfinder has a blueish cast. Maybe the yellow spot existed only in early M3s? There is not much written about this yellow spot anywhere in general.

The results from the Canon 100/2 LTM are quite an improvement over those from the Tele-Elmar 135/4. It's rather awkward to use however--being such an old design that it doesn't have a double helicoid. Consequently, when one focuses, the aperture ring rotates with the outer lens barrel. Moreover, the focus throw is extremely long: ~315˚ of rotation from 1 meter to infinity.

I finally made it to Photoville in Brooklyn yesterday, which was the last day, but I was actually kind of underwhelmed by it this year, so I just snapped some shots in the park area.

There’s a dedicated thread for Leica R Series Lenses. You might want to start one for M lenses (or M/L/S lenses). Lots of members are using those lenses on Sony, Nikon, and Panasonic mirrorless bodies (not sure about Canon).

An M/LTM thread might be attractive. I use M, ZM, VM and LTM across camera brands (Leica, Nikon, Sony) without hesitation.

So I regard a system consisting of X lenses with a Y camera as an X system (at least for manual focus, things may be different for AF sports, where the camera has more impact).
For some Leica lenses (new Summicron 28mm, Summarit 50, 90, APO-Summicron 50mm), the Nikon Z delivers about 95% of Leica image quality, which cannot be said for all Leica lens / third party camera combinations. But who would want a dedicated thread for subpar camera/lens combinations?

This dedicated Leica thread has been active for over 9 years now and while the Leica universe has grown beyond being mostly rangefinder cameras I think it still holds a value to have a thread dedicated to Leica cameras only even if there are rational arguments against it
