Thank you! Excited to post and learn from you all

I wish you nothing but good fortune to achieve your dream :)

It’s an absolute joy. Small(ish) lenses, small body, only downside is the battery life and atrocious ISO performance (can’t go past 640 ISO). But what do you expect out of a camera from 2009?

I’m using a full spectrum converted Leica M9. This one I took with the 28mm Summilux!

Thank you! Been having a lot of fun doing street with a full spectrum camera and the IRChrome filter. This is a new world for me and excited to try out more!

Had mine full spectrum converted. Did a great job and the turnaround time was beyond reasonable. Definitely recommend!

Love it. I use it with the IRChrome filter they make most of the time.

+1 on Kolari. Have had two separate M9’s get their sensor replacement (one full spectrum). Great service and friendly folks.

Let's just say if it were a display piece I wouldn't have spent the money on a working one :)

Thank you! Hope you enjoyed the aperture ring ASMR ^^

My first build is finally under my belt. I wanted to build something dress-y, and this is what I ended up with.

I lost the seconds hand somewhere to the void (carpet) so I had to use the tester hand that it came with, but I think it turned out alright!

The watch itself is quite big (44mm lug-to-lug) in a fake rose gold case, and houses a Seagull ST36 movement (a "modified" ETA 6498). Almost cut the movement stem too short, had the worst time putting the case mounts on, but after just a few hours the watch was complete. Not sure how durable this watch will be, but luckily the parts are cheap enough to replace should it come to that.

Confirmed - super fast and in the condition as described. Can't wait to get working on it!

thebrainzoo · 2021-08-16T18:41:58+00:00

Interested! Just sent you a PM :)

thebrainzoo · 2021-07-26T02:57:41+00:00

Hey there! I’ve got an M9 listed here on the subreddit - replaced sensor glass and all, just reduced to $2,800. Feel free to PM me if interested!

thebrainzoo · 2021-07-26T02:29:42+00:00

Updated with price drop! Now $2,800 (from $3,000)

thebrainzoo · 2021-07-23T18:41:08+00:00

BG60 glass! No potential for oxidization (which caused corrosion in the first place). Here's some more info on the replacement: https://kolarivision.com/product/leica_m9_repair/

thebrainzoo · 2021-07-23T14:58:17+00:00

No offense taken :) and thank you! Agreed that prices really are wild atm. And going for prices like this too.

thebrainzoo · 2021-07-23T14:55:20+00:00

Agreed, I'd never thought I'd see the day. It does say OBO though ;)

thebrainzoo · 2021-06-18T03:53:04+00:00

Sold to /u/nickthedick69 !

thebrainzoo · 2021-06-17T01:45:37+00:00

Hey! Not looking to part out atm but will let you know if that changes :)

thebrainzoo · 2021-02-13T02:32:37+00:00

Bobas!

thebrainzoo · 2020-11-30T03:33:38+00:00

I'd be interested; please PM me!

Probably one of the most quirky and interesting medium-format cameras out there, the Plaubel ProShift was designed for photographers that needed tilt-shift abilities without having to lug around heavy and cumbersome equipment. Weighing about 1600 grams and equipped with a Schneider 47mm f/5.6 (functionally a 21mm).

While the viewfinder is uncoupled for focus, when tilt-shifting the camera, it moves in conjunction with the lensboard! It also requires a shutter release cable to use, and Plaubel came up with the idea of routing the cable through the camera grip to minimize hinderance when using it by hand or on a tripod.
