With the recent tragedy in France it can be hard to focus on other things of importance. A day like today tends to help me retreat into myself to take stock of my daily blessings. I sometimes tend to go on "automatic pilot" forgetting the wonderful gifts that are present in my world. I turn on...

I have both for my trusty FTn the micro, my favorite, and the regular prime. Is there a version for my thread mounts? Are there any at a reasonable price? A fine lens are there just not that many to be had? I remember reading that the 10.5's were hugely popular. Did they make two versions in LTM...

Here's your chance to share some of your seasonal pictures, enjoy!

My second Leica, a ii f, seems to have become my 'go-to in the afternoon' camera.Not being a flash user I seem to have little use for the iiif at this time. The ii f RD is to me just a "smoother working camera. That said, the CZJ 50 1.5 is one of my best lenses. Once I learn to post on this...

Every once in awhile I see a soft release for sale . Anyone here use them? Much of a help or just a gadget. Leica does seem to have it's share of those.

I read much about the older leicas cameras. My two, a iif RD, and a iiif RD are great to use and carry The others I read mentioned quite a bit is the "c". other than the fact of it being a pre-war model what is the main attraction? Is it a better handler? More rugged, better materials, lighter...

In the past the Russians, not sure of today's offerings, offered some nice equipment. I'm really only familiar with the Jupiter 8, the Jupiter 3 . The J-12, the not often used by me Jupiter 9 are all lenses I currently own. All have those that cheer, others jeer. I own the Soviet turret...

When your out and about with your favorite classic Leica what kind of wrist or neck strap do you like to use ?

On the web I've noted these 75-100.00 dollor contrast slip-on lenses. I wonder if a less expensive knock-off is out there. Maybe from Hong Kong of some other far-eastern exporter.

Purchased yet another Leica , a Leica IIF. The seller when asked ventured an "old case" might be around. When the beauty did arrive it was protected by a "looks new to me" case. The mint IIf and the mint-looking case also came with another find! inside the case I found a built-in slot. Inside...

Been snap in' away on my first roll. Changing lenses to find a favorite. First with a '59 Jupiter 3 . Next I'll be using my W-Nikkor a 1:3.5 f=2.8cm on the last eight frames. So far so good. More will be revealed.

Thanks Amin. There's a lot of great talent around here. and agin thanks to all.

Today my weapon of choice, so to speak is a classic. A Leica iiif I only acquired weeks ago. No stranger to rangefinders like many others I started with a SLR, a Minolta XGM in my case back in '98. Film back then was a pricey luxury for a carpenter. No less costly today I rely on my supply of...

Through the years I've been given to understand that this lens is "beyond redemption" on western rangefinders. Is this a true thing? Mine is a silver '59 version. It only needs a missing screw on the focus ring. Would a CLA help? i

Watching my box as my first Leica is now, as I write this, proceeding over hill and dale winding it's way to me. The ad states "all works well, but the slow speeds. 1 sec. and 1/2 sec..are supposed to be off some. Still don't know if this will be a major impediment as they remain unused on my...
