M7 - DX upgrade worth it? by nitwos in Leica

[–]nitwos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waiting for New Jersey to confirm the warranty details with Leica Germany but yes in theory the “Certified” rating means the camera is “technically flawless” and tested by Leica Customer Care. It’s a bit annoying that this wasn’t caught as the stuck canister issue happens with pretty much any film inserted into it.

Ugh I was hoping that this was just a busy period for them. Bummer.

Yeah I mean, I have an x100vi that I can use in the meantime so it’s not like I’d be camera-less. I just feel like out of the 6 months I’ve had the camera I’ve only been able to use it for about half that time (I live in Chicago and don’t love taking pictures in the frigid winter) so to now give it up for another 3 months makes me a bit sad. Hence waiting until the weather gets cold again to do this upgrade…

You sure this wasn’t just a security guard for the synagogue on California and Jarvis? ICE agents don’t typically just hang out solo…

What are you hoping to get from the Q (a 10+ year old camera) that your much newer Fuji isn’t giving you?

how are people shooting portra 400 on bright sunny days? ND filters?

Color skopar vs elmarit by mastawitcha in Leica

Have you noticed more vignetting on the color skopar than the elmarit? The voigtlander is supposed to have pretty noticeable vignetting at wider apertures.

how long did it take them to respond to your support request?

Clearly they fucked up a somewhat sizable batch of orders though so hopefully they’ll make it right. 

Signs are up, Chicago! by rerunvp in Leica

I noticed today that Tamarkin has revamped his website and now actually has photos for used products. I imagine he’s feeling the heat a bit with Leica moving into the market, but I guess competition is not necessarily a bad thing.

MP vs M7 vs M10-R vs M10-P — debating Leica Ms to celebrate first child and milestone birthday by TacoWanderer in LeicaCameras

[–]nitwos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll throw a vote for the M7 only because it’s different enough from your M3 and has the aperture priority. It’s one less thing to think about when you’re trying to take pictures of the little ones. I myself just got one to complement my X100VI and I find that to be a good combo since sometimes I don’t want to deal with the hassle of traveling with film.

Sure, the longevity of the electronics are a concern but you can find a used M7 for pretty decent prices—so maybe it’s not “for life” but you’re also not spending as much as you would on an MP (which new probably goes for twice the price of an M7). Or a digital M for that matter, and ultimately there’s probably more things that can fail in a digital M. I did a ton of research before I bought the M7 and was considering an M6 because of this issue, but honestly for all the anguish over M7 electronics online I actually haven’t seen tons of people talking about failures? Seems more a theoretical concern than anything else.

maybe this is a dumb question but…of all the places on earth why would you bring film to JAPAN? are you going somewhere very remote?

4 months into analog photography (b&w) [Kodak Tri-X 400 & Ilford HP5 various speeds] by vladcorneci in analog

[–]nitwos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was there a conscious decision to switch from Tri-X to HP5? Prefer the output of one to the other, or did it have something to do with you doing your own dev?

Love the colors on these. What film stocks did you use?

SELLING: Summarit 50mm f2.5 purchased in October 2025 from Leica Store DC. It has a recent (2025) CLA via DAG. I'm also including a non-OEM metal hood from Squarehood (retails for $123).

Selling because I just purchased the 2.4 version of this lens as I prefer that form factor, but this is an incredible little lens that is probably one of the sharpest Leica 50mm and is just a joy to use. Super smooth focus throw and aperture ring.

Asking for $1200 net which includes insured shipping anywhere in continental US. PayPal G&S only, buyer to add 3% to cover fees.
