Black Paint Leicas

[Huss]

Pretty much a Leica 3.5cm summaron wannabe with a twistey-twist

I had a 35 3.5 Summaron, this renders nothing like that lens.

The exterior design is quite a copy with a twist.

And this is a thread about snobbery, Lust, bragging. Not about performance per se, although we know that no matter what, they’re all Leica’s descendants and wannabes.
I said snobbery... so...

My Leica II, the best camera design and precision engineering in the history of photography (in my opinion).

Totally agree. I Love mine! Today I have printed 72 contact sheets, 10 of which were shot with my Leica II and Nickel elmar 5cm.
Looking good... can’t wait to enlarge them

If you need to squint that hard then every lens is a copy with a twist.

That’s why I do not bother with the non-Leica stuff. Today was a hektor 2.8cm day for me, paired with a Black Paint M7.

How do you like the Hektor? I much prefer the results from my Orion 15... butt yeah, it goes against the thread snobbery thing.

p.s please post a pic taken w the Hektor if u can...

Seems like all the "Leica Rangefinder-Look" digicams I see are silver, so im surprised the black originals cost more than the silver ones.
The only camera I have that accepts Leica bayonet lenses is a Bessa R4M that only came in black. I never bought a Leica lens for it because in my hands I find rangefinders so cumbersome and hard to use compared to my favorite Nikon n75.
Interesting the black n75s I have cost almost 3 times the silver n75s.
I also thought with the popularity of silver film cameras these days that if there ever were a Nikon f7 it might come in silver or black.

I Love it!

Awesome! Thanks!

Sweet shot underneath the camera! Was that a reflection, or taken through a window?

Damnnnn I got fooled by the total perfectness of the Sexy look of the 30$K Black summicron 35mm V1.

Yes & isn't that an interesting story we'll have to tell.....the long tale of the 8E special
