Leica expertise wanted
 |
Hi, i'm looking for a leica to buy, but since I can't get a new one, I've decided to go for the m3
Found this one:
www.angelfoto.com.br/main_usados.php?page=usado&usado...
(I'm from Brazil and the page is in portuguese, but it's the pictures that matter.)
I've done a little research and found that it's one of the double stroke models, but couldn't find anything about that 50mm 'cron.
Can anyone comment on those lens?
P.S. I'm buying it for actual use, not let it rot away in a shelf.

Eu nao posso te ajudar sobre a M3....eu acabei de comprar uma M6 a me apaixonei por rangefinders.....
Tenho a summicron 50mm, e gostei tbm, achei o contrast muito bom, e e bem sharp. Dizem que e a mais sharp da Leica, porem nao tao rapida qto a summilux.

Da uma olhada nesse site, e bem interessante.
Qto a camera, ela parece estar bem conservada.....
Boa sorte na sua compra.....
so por curiosidade, qto custa uma M6 sem lente por ai?

If everything is working well, and the glass is clean and clear, that is a good price for the combination. The summicron is a very noteworthy lens, and a great combination with a M3.
Here are sample photos:

I think the collapsible summicron is indeed a noteworthy lens, as steverett mentions above. Most of the stuff in my stream is taken with a collapsible summicron. The lens has slightly less contrast than the modern summicron and I find that it handles shadows very well. It's meant for the M3.
The front element coating is soft on the early Summicrons and is prone to deterioration and scratching. If it is minor then it won't matter to the image quality. Mine was fairly well scuffed up and would flare easily. I had the front element recoated. There are a couple of places here in the US and another in Kiev, Ukraine who do the work. No doubt there are others that I'm unaware of.
