What have you just BOUGHT?

I bought a Voigtlander 50mm Nokton 1.5 II MC in black for my newly acquired M240. It should be perfect for me. It has been really nice to have a digital rangefinder again.

I took the plunge yesterday and purchased an M11 (Silver) from Popflash. Coming back to Leica is exciting. I used to shoot w/ MP and M6 until 15 years ago, when I went insane and moved over to a Nikon DSLR. I sold my M bodies, but hung on to my lenses. Still have my 35 'lux Asph, 135 screwmount and a few Hexanon M mount lenses. It's excruciating trying to figure out which of the APO lenses I'll be saving for. I plan on shooting the classic Leica style lens, but do want at least one of APO's to see the real detail from that sensor. Time to hit the streets!

Do the electrons needed for that digital camera spin in the reverse direction below the equator? ;o) Good luck with your new gear.

Have been thinking about one of these for awhile to compliment my 645N and full set of lenses... and then this showed up as a smoking deal in mint condition with 2300 actuations.

I was wondering what happened when one of the two batteries Leica shipped did not hold a charge! Thanks.

Sonnar Brian may have the answer if it will not take a charge. Not holding a charge must be the electrons being confused in that one battery. Maybe a rest/siesta will help.

I gave it back to the store. We will try to get a replacement. The M240 battery that I have is shockingly good. Lasts for many days compared to my other digital cameras.

A 1951 J-3 with beautiful glass. Lens was grungy, attached to an equally dirty Zorki1. Lens cleaned up nicely, glass and coating are really clean. I tested the thing using the measuring tape method, wide open with focus scale set to one meter mark. Sharpest point on image is about a centimeter short of the one meter mark on the measuring tape. In other words, pretty good. I am not gonna mess with the shims given that it will be used mirrorless digital cameras.

I received the Viltrox EF-L autofocus lens adapter today. My earlier inquiries on Leicaforum and BHphoto did not yield clear responses but here you go: the adapter works perfectly with the SL2-S body & EF L lenses. Cheers, OtL
 
A 1956 Fed2 (B) from Igor. First time I have bought a camera to use with a nice lens previously purchased. On the M10-P the black with green lettering KMZ version is very good so I bought the Fed to use it for film rather than getting the lens recalibrated.
 
I went to a camera fair on the weekend and stumbled upon a Yashica auto Yashinon 5cmm f2 lens in M42 mount. I had been vaguely aware of this lens before but had not seen or held one. The moment I did I was smitten.

This little beauty looks identical to (and is the same dimensions as) the Auto Takumar 55mm f2 out of the Pentax stable but, although the Takumar is a very nicely made lens, this one leaves it in the shade for build quality. I have not weighed it yet but it in the hand it feels almost twice as heavy as the Takumar - clearly all brass and glass and is smooth as silk. No aluminium in its build. It is not a particularly well known lens but it is very highly regarded by those who do know of it.

I occasionally watch this quirky (OK nutty!) reviewer who raves about it (Mad - but this review is worth watching I suppose, not the least because I think he is correct at least in this respect.)
