  • I'm selling my loved 10D (body only), it is a year old and I have shot about 7,500 frames with it. The body shows normal wear, no major scratches, dings or dents. It comes with 2x256MB, 2x64MB Compact Flash cards, original CDs, manual and the box. I also have an USB card reader and a 2nd battery (3rd party). All original accessories are included. I'm asking for $950 firm. I accept paypal, cash, money order or a check (needs to clear). Free USPS Priority shipping within the US.


  • just to feed your curiosity; I'm going to get a Leica M6 TTL
    with a nice set of lenses.
    Damn it, where is that flipoff emoticon when you need it...
    Well the movie Eurotrip teaches us that an M6 can get you special treatment from the girl at the photo lab in Amsterdam ;)


  • Ahh Cosina... had that mixed up with Contax.


  • I just aquired my first Leica, a Leica III(F) made in 1935. I'm using it with a 3.5cm (before they refered to focal length by mm) f/3.5 Leitz Elmar. I put the first test roll of Tri-X in it about an hour ago, and took a few test shots. You have to modify the film leader to load the camera, and it has these old, European f/stops which are about 1/2 way between the standardized numbers used today. Odd shutter speeds too, but I'm more used to that in other old cameras.


  • So, the Leica has not come out with a 'digital rangefinder' yet?
    I think Contax will be releasing the first true digital rangefinder. It takes leica mount lenses. will be a 6 megapixel aps sized sensor.

    Saw this article about a new D-rangefinder by Cosina/Espon. Whose parent company are they :?:

  • hey ks - let's see your Leica pic.s..
    How is the 3.5cm Elmar performing?


  • What type of film is used in Leica M series?

  • If I'm not mistaken Leica was the first rangefinder, which paved the way for the photojournalism wave in Eu back in those days right??

    All the well known (street) photographers like Cartier-Bresson and
    Winogrand have used Leicas

    I'm ignorant. Does the Leica have lenses like 50mm, 28mm, wide, normal, zoom etc as they have for a SLR?

    Did Cartier-Bresson take all those portraits with a rangefinder?
    Yes, there are interchangable lenses. Sometimes the viewfinder will have coverage for wide angle, 50mm and maybe telephoto so you can compose. Otherwise you will need an eyepiece to compensate for the field of view for that lens.

    Cool!!!

    But being a 10D guy, why didn't you go in for the Digilux??

  • Vodoo is right. The M6 is the Mother of all rangefinders.
    If you've ever had one in your hands, you can't let go.
    Everything works so super-smooth - the build quality
    is amazing and the lenses are outstanding. The downside:
    everything with an outstanding price tag. I have always
    wanted a Leica - since I haven't used my 10D as much in
    the past and I can always borrow one I take the opportunity...

    Most of the 'Leica people' are hardcore film lovers, the
    Digilux doesn't seem to get that much appreciation from these
    people (which doesn't mean it's a bad camera). Also it does
    not take other lenses.

    I can't speak for doxx, but the digilux is more of a point and shoot with a fixed lens. While the M6 is a professional rangefinder that can take many different lenses.

  • As far as I know, Bresson has never used anything else
    than a Leica, mostlikely with a 50mm lens.

    There are many lenses for Leica available, the M6 with a .72
    viewfinder has framelines 35mm, 50mm, and 90mm.

    For other lenses with different focal lenghts (wide, super-wide
    and telephoto) you'll need to use external viewfinders to frame
    the shot.

    Honestly a rangefinder performs best with a 35mm or 50mm lens.
    Wide is ok, because it's not critical. Long lenses can be a problem
    because the image in the viewfinder (it shows just as a fraction
    of the viewfinder) is just too small to focus properly. This is SLR
    terrain anyway.

    There is a Leica zoom lens available, but it's not common at all.

    I adore Bresson's portraits!

    Thanks for the info re. the mm. It was merely out of curiousity.

    Cheers!

    Thanks for clearing the doubt for me voods. I had this notion that Digilux was a "Digital Rangefinder", capable of handling multiple Leica lenses. Is there a "Digital Rangefinder" for Leica?

    And why would they sell a point 'n shoot (eventhough how classy it might be) for USD1850??? And I have read it in articles that "pros were waiting for the its arrival". Were they?

  • The Body is based on the Cosina/Voigtlander Bessa,
    it will cost about $2,300. A bit much IMO :shock:

  • graduating to 1D? :)

  • 35mm


  • the camera is sold already.


  • PS, I used the digilux as a reference for designing the logo on this forum.


  • Thanks


  • Crap, I would buy it in a second except I won't have the money until the end of the year, which is when I am planning to get my 10D. Oh well.
