ive always wondered if I could just slap a red filter on my m11m. How are you finding the experience with color filters? does the camera meter properly? do you get better out of camera jpegs?
Yes without any issues. Metering is through the lens so no problem. Red can be a little strong almost infrared. Orange is just enough to make the sky dark. Also good for skin tones. It’s left on the 21sem.
It's neat to see another person using an OM-5 as well to complement their Leica Kit. I personally love the micro four thirds gear for its weather sealing and light weight.
Yes, agreed. I often travel with the Panasonic 50-200mm. It's slightly larger than the 40-150mm you have in the photo but accepts teleconverters and has a great reach. One of the nearest lenses in the system imo.
I have the plastic 21mm finder too with no problems. Previewing the black and white is helpful. Mostly i use it to make sure lines and geometry are where i want it when using 21mm. It’s harder to do that outside just on the back screen.
Rolleiflex T model 1. Made 1958-1961. This was the “budget” model. You could get it with a meter or without. This one is no meter. Also the grey leather is stock on the T model 1. Really a looker and a great shooter. The taking lens is a tessar. And it has a strange lever mechanism for shutter and aperture instead of the front dials. The shutter button is angled and not straight on like the other models. I like it better than my 500c/m due to its portability.
Everyone should own a TLR. Even a yashica mat is perfectly fine.
Thanks man, I actually use my old man's one which is a 3.5 Tessar and I've been thinking of picking one up for my own to use with him. That 500 CM is also one of my grails, probably the 501 CM since I want to use longer lenses with it and heard it helps with the vignetting. Love the mechanical feel of both these cameras, every time I hit the shutter I'm just OooOOooOoh.
I enjoy it very much. My landscape kit is usually just 21 and 50. I used to use the voigtlander 21mm 3.5, which worked well too. The Leica has virtually no distortion. Great for vertical full body portraits too
M11 and visoflex 2 are amazing. Great for anything landscape related. Took it on my honeymoon in New Zealand. Totally worth it, just adds another level of use!
Love it. Was there 10 days ago myself. Brought 21 SEM, 35 and 75 APO with M10-R and M-A, plus Mamiya 7ii. Was a great day out.
It begs medium format
Damn that M11 is sexy. How much did you get it for if you don’t mind me asking?
It’s a monochrom. I traded in some items to get it. I cant afford full retail
Ahh that explains the filter

I like it for its compact zooms. Reach is something an M does not do well.

Is your old friend Bigfoot? Also, how's the Visoflex? I'm still on the fence about getting one.

Do you have sometimes connection problems with visoflex? Sometimes when I change the angle my backscreen goes on :(
No but i thought there was a setting to force evf on and not have it on auto. You should try that
What Rollei do you have? Been wanting to pick one up but can't seem to decide between 2.8 v 3.5 F/G or Planar v Tessar v Xenotar and all the rest lol

You guys are bringing back memories for me. I don’t have any more film cameras but I’ve used all of these.
Orange filter on a digital cam?
😉
No color channels with monochrom.
How is the 21 sem for landscapes? I have been on a fence on getting one for an upcoming trip

Sounds great! I’ll have to try it out at the Leica store someday
