An M2 that has paid its dues.

... and still continues to do so! Nobbylon painted it black for me and I stuck the original owners name tag to the inside of the bottom plate as a relic.

In a few years time it will likely brass again, but the paint John used is real tough!

Nowadays I also have an M4 in even more rundown condition that is basically fine. Unfortunately it needs a shutter repair, one curtain came undone. I'm out of funds so it's a shelf queen...:(
 
.....it stopps ....getting into the gliding tube and second it prevents the the tube to protrude pretty far into the body .....It wouldn't touch the shutter, but it doesn't feel alright. ;)
:D

:D like wearing a rubber suit, feels like washing your feet with your socks on :D


..btw here's one of mine with a new lens that arrived last week from a fellow member from Spain

Digital leica M cameras are not as tough as you think it should be.
These leica lens are not water proof at all.

It doesn't stop me from using my camera of choice where and when I want to. I don't baby my gear. They're tools I put to use no matter what the weather is like. If only you saw what i put my old M9 through - much worse than this, so I know the Monochrom can take it - and it did!

Thats the attitude, you should see the looks of shock I get walking in the rain with my D800. So far so good, baby keeps clicking.

Any specific shots from the rain day up?
