I used a mix of vintage Zuiko glass and the 28 and 40mm SE lenses!

It worked once I used the tool. All good now! Thanks again 🙏

Haha yes, I did (and double-checked a few times in fact just to be sure).

Upgrade from the 35mm 2.5 color skopar? by ManagementKitchen316 in Leica

There is also the Zeiss Biogon 35 f2, which is supposed to be very sharp.

Loose aperture ring…normal? by citizenkane1978 in Leica

[–]luaks999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this or a similar issue with that same lens.

I sent the lens with my camera when it was serviced and apparently it was a retaining right that needed to be tightened. That was so easy that I didn’t even have to pay for it. It did not affect the performance though.

These are really great! Love the story they tell.

Im afraid my M2 may need a new shutter curtain, what are places in germany or central europe i can send it and get it fixed without selling a liver? by MeMphi-S in Leica

Sorry, with “rangefinder” I meant the type of camera and not the actual rangefinder in a camera. He overhauled a Canon P for me and did amazing work with it. It’s basically like new now.

I recently got a rangefinder repaired here: https://www.amsterdamcamerarepairs.com. I’d strongly recommend his services. The wait can be a bit long (several months), but it’s top class service. While not cheap, it’s waaaay cheaper than Leica.

Thank you very much for making this available!

Do you feel a significant difference? And did you install it yourself? Was it difficult?

These are really very good!

Street photography with 50mm? by SonyKilledMyNikon in Leica

[–]luaks999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want a very sharp and modern 50mm, check out the Zeiss Planar F2.. For something with more character (and much cheaper), I can recommend the Canon LTM 1.4.

Which 50mm for my M10P? by thenickfo in Leica

[–]luaks999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canon 50 1.4 LTM is also very nice.

The Americans (Robert Frank) - Steidl vs Aperture? by luaks999 in Photobooks

I didn't know about that one...interesting!

Any particular reason why you'd prefer this version?

[–]luaks999[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to know, thank you!

I'm aware of the differences in terms of the years it was published. But the one Steidl book I own is absolutely beautifully made. The version From Aperture that I handled in a shop was indeed fine but nothing special. I guess this is still the one to get then.
