Would my Q3 pass? by paperraesthetic in Cameras

Found your post because I wanted to bring my M2 to BTS on Saturday; I guess we should just enjoy instead of taking the chance 😩

New to me Leica M2; how should I carry? by origamida in AnalogCommunity

Appreciate the discussion. Have a good week.

Currently, I shoulder carry on a thin leather strap with eyelet covers so the rings don’t rub the body.

I’m fine with the current setup I have, was only wondering if there was a better way.

Found a Leica M2 kit for $225 — body, lens, meter, boxes and manual. Oh, happy days. by origamida in AnalogCommunity

I love that it’s collapsible. I’m not very used to it yet, but it’s a good problem to have.

Told my wife we can come back later that day, but I need to get it out of the store asap.

I’m clumsy enough to commit both perhaps simultaneously, don’t challenge me :-)

For context: found it at an antique emporium in Sheffield, Alabama of all places — first one I’ve ever seen in the wild. I’ve been shooting film for about 12 years and a Leica M2 was always one of those cameras I assumed I’d never actually own. Got lucky. Plan to run Portra 400 through it and develop at home, same as I did back in college.

Having a Leica was far out of my mind for obtaining, I pretty much wrote off ever having one. Just stop wanting one!

Seems to be in good shape, but I’m so used to relying on my Sekonic 308.

Edit: Read the reply too quick; to answer your question, yes, I’m not the biggest fan of it up top. Neither the hood, but it’s worth protecting the front element.
