    Leica Lectures, Exhibits and Shows

    Thought there might be some interest in a thread regarding any of the above. I'm always on the look out for these types of events, where I live and also when I'm on travel for work. If you post to this thread please list the venue and duration of the event and maybe a quick summary. Sabastiao...

    Film Scanning Prints vs Negatives

    Wondering if anyone here is scanning prints rather than negatives and if so what has your experience been (i.e. do you prefer one over the other). Thus far I've only scanned in color negatives (as I don't have any prints) but I have a lot of traditional B&W prints to potentially scan. I...

    Film Analog Camera Shops.

    Travel is part of my job and when I have down time I like to checkout old mom and pop camera shops just to see what they have in stock. Aside from film, I normally don't buy much else from them but I'm try and support the little guy as much as possible. I thought a thread listing some analog...

    Leica 18mm SEM Reflections

    I only use this lens with the adapter and filters on my M9M and MP and I noticed that every now and then I'll get images that appear to have reflections of other parts of the scene in either the upper corners or the upper middle of the frame. I'm was guessing the reflections were caused by...

    Film Organizing Negatives

    I realize that how one organizes their negatives is completely subjective, but I'm interested in hearing how members are organizing theirs. Since returning to film a couple of years ago, I've been using Print File Archival sleeves and 1" three ring binders. The sleeves within the binders are...

    Leica 28mm Summilux

    It's finally up on Leica's website, Summilux-M 28mm f/1,4 ASPH. // M-Lenses // Leica M-System // Photography - Leica Camera AG I checked out the blog and the images look pretty good from this lens. It's real hard for me to justify owning this lens as I have the 35mm FLE, which I traded in the...

    Film CineStill Film, Experiences?

    My local brick and mortar started carrying CineStill's color 135 film, but at $15 (USD) per roll. I checked the Cinestill's website at you can buy the same film in three packs for approximately $10 per roll. I rarely shoot in color, so I wanted to see what forum members thought of this color...

    Film Traditional Photo Paper Suggestions

    I've been experiementing with different films lately so I thought I would mix things up even more and try photo paper from other companies. I started with Ilford paper back in high school and college and have never purchased another brand. Recently I shift from Ilford RC matte to fiber glossy...

    Film Hi!

    My name is Mijo and I'm addicted to film. It started in high school and college, then I switched to digital when it was cool. A couple of years ago I came back to film when I discovered a community dark room a few blocks from my apartment. I currently only have one film camera, Leica MP with...

    Leica Black Chrome M Lenses

    I noticed today that on Leica's website that the 50mm Summilux that comes with the Kratviz will be available separately at the end of April. I like the look of this lens a lot but not enough to trade in my 50 lux for what is essentially the same lens (but with a retro appearance in black...

    Leica Good Deals

    I thought I would start this thread so that members have a place to post good deals on Leica gear that other members might be interested in. Right now on Leica Store Miami's website, within the used section , there are two MM for slightly more than $5K (one is a recent CLA and the other comes...

    Leica Be Careful Out There

    This weekend one of my fears was realized when I was physically assaulted and robbed of my M-E with the SEM 18mm mounted. It was on Saturday around 3:00 p.m. on Lilac St. and 24th, in San Francisco, I was shooting some graffiti in an alley when I was jumped by three guys. This is a shady part...

    Leica Load Outs

    The premise of this thread is easy, post a picture of your load out and list what it consists of. If your like me you probably have various load outs so feel free to also describe the reason why your load out is what it is. Bag - Billingham Combo with Avea 3 pouches attached Kit - Leica...

    Leica Universal Polarizer Adapters

    Just wanted to let people know that if you have Leica's Universal Polarizer and the 75 cron, the 135mm f3.4 adaptor is what you need for this lens (not the E49 adapter). I have both adaptors, they came with my used polarizer, but I didn't realize the 135 adpator actually fits the 75 cron...

    Leica 50mm f/2 Summicron-M (DR)

    I bought this lens awhile ago but the classic M6 that I was using it on had to be returned and I never replaced the classic M6. The goggles associated with this lens do not fit on my M6 TTL (the top plate is too tall), so I can't use the close focus on this lens (which is why I bought this...

    Leica Medium Format Film Rangefinder

    I've been thinking about getting into medium format film for awhile now, mainly there's a lot of people that use the community darkroom that shoot medium format. A few weeks ago I ran into a tourist with a Mamiya 7 and it was love at first sight. Since then I've scoured the internet and read...

    Leica New B&W Film!

    A new B&W ISO 800 film, CineStill Film. I'm looking forward to trying this film, if I can find it locally, as there's been a noticable gap in options between ISO 400 and 3200 for B&W film. Looks like you can use D-76 developer as well, which is the developer my community darkroom stocks. I'm...

    Leica Showcase Leica 18mm f/3.8 Super-Elmar-M

    One of my favorite subjects to shoot is graffiti. One of the problems I've run into is that some pieces are so large and or in alleys so narrow that it's impossible to fit the work into a single frame using just a 28 or 35mm FL. My solution is the 18mm SEM, I've only had this lens for a week...

    Leica Coit Tower, San Francisco

    Just wanted to let other forum member know that Coit tower reopened a few months ago, so if your in San Francisco you may want to check it out. The first image is of the tower itself, taken from Chinatown. The other two images are from the tower itself, taken within a few days of the...

    Leica SF Leica Store

    Camera West is opening a Leica store in San Francisco, it's suppose to be open next Monday (June 30th). I actually checked out the location a few weeks ago, it's across the street from the main Chinatown entrance near Union Square. If anyone is going to the grand opening and wants to meet up...

    Leica SF Flask Mob Meet Up

    I posted a similar thread about this meet up on mu4/3 so I thought I would do the same here to see if anyone is interested. Here's a link describing what Flask Mob is about, http://www.thebolditalic.com/articles/4644-join-flaskmob-for-a-sf-photo-adventure I've never been to this meet up...

    Leica Storing Prints

    Since I picked up an M6 last year I've been shooting more film than digital and I've been doing a lot of printing, from those negatives. Lately I've printing large (i.e. 20x24, 16x20, 11x14) and have collected a decent stack of prints (RC and fiber) which I now need to store. Back in college...

    Leica Upgrading Summicron to Summilux

    The 35mm summicron has been a work horse in my modest stable of m mount lenses. It's my go to lens if I'm only going to be out with a one body / one lens kit, when I'm at home I tend to use this set up a lot. The only gripe I have with the 35mm summicron is that it isn't as fast as my 50mm...

    Leica Manual Lens Selection

    I recently picked up a used CV 12mm F3.5 and a elmarit 21mm f2.8 (ASPH), neither of which are 6 bit coded. I searched the internet and it looks like I should manually select for the elmarit 21mm f2.8 (11135) when using either of these lenses on the M9 or M-E. However there are at least 2 or 3...

    Leica Handgrip for Film M's

    Since I picked up a Summicron 75mm, I've been using the grip on my M-E more and more. I've been wanting to get a grip for my M6, but I don't want the motor that has the grip built in as it's too much for what I need. Has any tried the 14405 grip...

    Leica Suggestions for a Leica with "Auto" mode?

    I've been trying to get my wife to use my leica gear in the hopes of getting rid of our other system, m4/3, since I've completely stopped using it myself. IMO my wife is a better photog than I am (which isn't saying much) as she has a better eye for composition and color. However she's pretty...

    Leica M6 Frameline Problem

    I've had the elmarit 28mm on my M6 for the last week or so but today I went and changed to my summilux 50. I noticed that the frame lines didn't change so I tried my summicron 35 and the frame lines are still stuck on the ones for the 28. Nothing happens when I move the frame line selector...

    Leica New Leica Tripod & Ball Heads

    I came accross this the other day, http://us.leica-camera.com/photography/m_system/accessories/tripod_accessories/10271.html Since I already have a Sirui tripod that's almost identical to leica's new tripod (except it's aluminum not carbon fiber), I'm not really that interested in it. The...

    Leica LFI App

    Once my complimentary copies of LFI were discontinued I checked out the LFI Ipad App and discovered that electronic versions of LFI were available for purchase through the app. There's actually a lot of back issues available, way back to 2004, and the older the issue the less it costs. I've...

    Leica Lens Cap Questions

    When I bought the elmarit 28mm, it came with a metal lens cap that fits over the lens when not using the provided hood. My summicron 35mm did not come with the same type of lens cap but instead a plastic one that you pinch on the sides. both lens caps are the same size and I end up using the...

    Leica f-stop not listed w/n EXIF data?

    I have a M-E and I noticed recently that when I look at the EXIF data the f-stop that I used isn't listed, but everything else is. I looked on flickr and I'm seeing the f-stop listed on some pictures but not on others, with people using the M-E and the M9. How do I get the f-stop to show up in...

    Leica Suggestions for Leica M film body

    I'm considering a leica M film body for B&W film only as I'm also considering a membership to a darkroom so that I can process film myself (haven't done so since college). I was looking at the M7 since it has the same sort of A mode as my M-E (which I tend to use when I'm lazy and my wife tends...

    Leica Digital M Handgrip and or Thumbs Up

    I'm looking to improve the handling of my M-E, so I ordered a Thumbs Up (EP-1S) which should arrive early this week. I read a lot of postive reviews about the Thumbs Up so I thought I would give it a try. If the Thumbs Up isn't to my liking than I'll try the handgrip. Anyone using one or...

    Leica Leica Classes

    I noticed that on Leica's website they list out different upcoming workshops / classes. Has anyone taken any of the classes offered / taught by Leica, if so what are your thoughts / experiences? Since I'm new to rangefinders, I was thinking of taking one of the classes for M9 / M-E users but...

    Leica Magnifier Questions

    I relatively new to Leicas and rangefinders, I used my friends M9 for about a week before buying an M-E, so I'm still getting used to learning how to focus. I only have two lenses, 50 summilux and the 28 elmarit, and I'm considering getting one of the magnifiers to help improve my focusing with...
