    FS: Zeiss Viewfinder ZI 18mm

    I am selling my Zeiss viewfinder for the ZM 18mm lens. I sold the lens already but still got the finder. I bought it new from an authorized dealer in January 2013. I basically never used it, just mounted it on my M9 to check that all is well. It is obviously in mint condition. Price is 320$...

    Selling the Carl Zeiss C Sonnar 1.5/50 ZM with Carl Zeiss UV filter 46mm. I ordered this lens new on 26 February from Germany and had it for about 3 weeks. It is optimized for f/1.5. Still in a mint condition, together with box and papers, and the Zeiss UV filter I ordered together. I am not...

    To keep C Sonnar or not?

    Having used the C Sonnar for a couple of weeks now, I'm still very undecided about it. My copy is optimized for wide open shooting, which means it back focuses strongly when stopped down. When shooting at infinity, I need to pull back the focusing ring by about 3 mm to get the best sharpness at...

    M9 intermediate ISO settings

    Does anyone have any information about the intermediate ISO settings on the M9? Are they real hardware steps like in pro cameras from Canon and Nikon, or just pushed in the camera processor? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Who uses what? Half cases and handgrips

    Just wondering what you guys are using. I have both, a nice Ciesta leather half case and Leica handgrip. I like the M9 with the handgrip better, but I have better grip with the half case, which is kind of funny. So I use both, depending on the day :)

    Low battery nagging screen

    Sorry for the rookie questions, but I couldn't help but notice the frequent low battery nagging screens when the charge is below 25%. I understand the M9 will turn off automatically when the charge is too low, so I guess it is alright to keep on shooting and ignore the warnings? Nevertheless...

    M9 self timer

    I used the self timer for the first time today to take some shots on tripod. It's really funny that it starts the count down at the slightest touch of the shutter release button, thus not allowing me to use the camera meter to adjust the exposure. The work around is, obviously, to switch to C or...

    M9 leatherette, durable?

    I am just wondering about this, not really concerned about it, but out of scientifical curiosity :D My used M6 vulcanite covering was 26 years old when I bought it, and it was in excellent condition. How would you rate the durability of the M9 covering, especially the non vulcanite one like on...

    How to remove color shift and keep vignetting?

    Hi All, I have been using so far the Leica lens correction in camera to remove the color shift on the ZM 18 and 25. I found the best equivalents in a list that I received from Zeiss upon request, but it is also available on the Leica user forum. Now while the profiles are successful in removing...

    FS: Leica SF 24D Flash

    I bought this flash new from a German Leica dealer back in January 2012, but only used it at one occasion. I guess I'm not much of a flash person. It has been sitting in my dry cabinet ever since, not seeing any action. It is basically like new, mint condition. Box and whatever came in it are...

    Hi Friends, I bought this viewfinder brand new a few months ago to use with my ZM 25 but rarely used it. It has been put on the camera 2-3 times only.

    Help with ZM WA line up please!

    Hello Guys! I just got into RF with an M6, and planning to get an M9 or its successor as soon as my wallet condition allows. I will start with a ZM only line up because I really like the way they draw, and they are much cheaper too. I already ordered the Planar 50 and Tele Tessar 85, but I am...

    Sharpening settings for film scans

    Hi Friends, Would you have any recommendations about sharpening film scans? If I understand correctly, one has to do capture sharpening and output sharpening, but I'm a bit confused about the amount. I usually tick the sharpen setting in Vuescan as capture sharpening and use some subtle USM...

    Dear All, I have these 2 Carl Zeiss manual focus lenses in M42 screw mount. I bought them recently (around 6 months ago) brand new from a German supplier, and they have seen very little use. They are in mint condition. No signs of use whatsoever. Original boxes and papers are still available...

    Is the 24/2 that bad?

    http://kurtmunger.com/24mm_wide_angle_comparisonid131.html Very strange results from an otherwise excellent reviewer. I know for a fact my lens doesn't show the blur at zones B and C as in the review.

    ZA 200mm f/2.5 Tele-Sonnar

    Hi Guys, Just received today the Kenko 1.4X Teleplus MC4 teleconverter which turns my ZA 135 into an 190mm f/2.5 lens. Took a few test shots from my balcony at f/2.5 and f/5.6 to see how it behaves at infinity. You can find them here. I found the lens/converter combination to be sturdy and...
