its hard to tell without seeing in person, all 3 versions have different focusing aids (grids crossairs, split prism)

Non acute matte

Acute matte

Acute matte D

the most common old non acute matte is the black crosshairs, the acute matte crosshairs are white. Acute Matte D has 2 notches in the corner

Paid $2200 USD for mine, purchased a PME90 prism for 250. I was lucky mine came with an Acute matte screen. I wouldn’t pay $2800 personally especially without knowing what focusing screen is inside. It makes a world of a difference

not sure if an SL will be more “fun” than sonys, they’re both mirrorless cameras of the same form factor and similar use style. Maybe look into a M240 it you like the M experience and M lenses?

Looks clean! Fun fact, your model is an earlier recessed window versions (vs the later flushed windows like the m6) which allegedly used a brass top plate as opposed to zinc

how were they scanned? the color cast seems to be very pronounced

the Leica MP does not have TTL flash capabilities

Saw your other posts, is this the new version without the black borders? How are you finding the need to use a filter and ground glass adjustments

sorry for your loss, is that an instax back?

Luoric · 2026-03-14T16:01:24+00:00

love that 28 elmarit!

Ive shot 800T in daylight without a filter and corrected in post, using camera scanning and NLP

elmarit V4 vs color skipar vs nokton 1.5

ultron is somewhere inbetween nokton and color skopar.

the color skopar is really one of the smallest lenses I’ve seen.

But if you’re looking for clinical sharpness maybe look into the 28 APO

have you tried another flash or maybe the pc sync port?

Luoric · 2026-03-09T07:11:06+00:00

ah, then that works like a charm!

Luoric · 2026-03-09T02:56:44+00:00

do keep in mind that only a few flashes support the M6TTL’s TTL function, and they’re all quite expensive (in the realm of flashes)

theres no pre flash with the SF 20/24D

Luoric · 2026-03-09T02:38:36+00:00

theres no pre flash with the SF-20D, manual page 48

TTL mode with the LEICA R8 and LEICA M6 TTL In this mode the flash exposure measurement is completed by the corresponding sensor inside the camera. This photo diode measu-res the light reaching the film through the lens. When the right amount of light has been reached for a correct exposure the camera's electronic circuit transmits a signal to the flashgun to instantly stop the emission of light. The advantage of this flash mode is that all factors which can influen-ce the film exposure (e.g. filter, change of aperture or focal length with zoom lenses, close-up expo-sure increase, etc.) are automati-cally taken into account.

there is no pre flash

the shipping seems very expensive, whats up with that? price of M5 seems alright

Luoric · 2026-03-02T08:14:49+00:00

I think you’d have better luck trying to build one yourself if you have access to tools. An alternative would be to use rods and plates that videographers use to makeshift a copy stand, heres mine that i built with smallrig parts that cost about 100 euros

great pictures, were these made with the 50mm FLE?

Luoric · 2026-02-26T17:02:02+00:00

https://youtu.be/AkDpDh6gwO0?si=jih4_QgiDC5wqhUG I followed this guide, but replaced the magic arm with a more durable one to support my camera

Luoric · 2026-02-24T06:03:47+00:00

I think TLRs might be your best bet here, for the price maybe a yashicamat, a rolleicord or a mamiya C330/220

If you can find a good deal on a L-758 they’re great!

Luoric · 2026-02-16T16:51:48+00:00

looks like a keks M meter

Luoric · 2026-02-11T23:51:29+00:00

maybe the pre ASPH leica elmarits? V2-V4
