#Leica 35mm summilux serial numbers serial number

I just felt that an M6 attracts far too much attention on shall we say the seedier streets of our country and shall carry on using my trusty ВЈ30 chrome Olympus OM-2 that nobody looks at ever with the view of mugging me for. buying the complete opposite of what I planned. There's the 35-70mm f/4 to save up for next too! I have been lurking around this forum for a while but that was mainly with a view to buying an M6 for street photography and here I am. It's what it's for after all.Д¬lick to expand.I know, I know. Some dealers may not like your using that, but do so. If any problems arise then you do have the shop guarantee to get it fixed at their cost. If that were not an issue, I would recommend the drive over the winder anyday though.ДЄs Peter says, buy from a dealer. I bought three to go with the one god one that came with the drive (another that got thrown in with the deal turned out to be dead). That battery is now only obtainable new from Leica's service department. Regarding your consideration of the winder, this does have the advantage of using regular batteries IIRC, whereas the MD uses a proprietary rechargeable. My current body has the Motor Drive R8 mounted that makes it fairly large (though a touch smaller than a Canon 1Ds FWIW), but the handling is superb as Peter has already alluded. This had an intermittent problem of locking up, which I blamed - perhaps unfairly - on the winder, as there was no problem without it. They could reasonably have levied a charge for the job, as there are plenty of alternatives in that focal length, but it was done F.O.C.ДЄ few years back I did briefly own another R8 + winder. Earlier this year I sent a pre-aspheric 35mm Summilux-M for adjustment as it wouldn't focus to infinity on my M8. I think Leica are pretty reasonable with sorting out an inherent problem (as opposed to one that develops from use/misuse).

At this stage of the game I would imagine that most cameras which had problems will have been sent back to Leica for repair or replacement, but if you are still concerned, then obviously the advice given in the link to seek out a later serial number is reasonable. My R8 is a 2293xxx, so maybe I should start freaking out, eh! However, no problems to date with it (the DMR has an R9 attached).
