Leica Madness--Eleven Vintage 35mm Cameras 

Thank you, Robert. I think I'm about to print some photos of these screw mounts as a collection. Unfortunately, I only have two left, which are permanent in my collection.

Thank you, TAK Motors. It is definitely a timeless camera. New episode on the Kodak Retina IIIC coming up.

Screw-ins aren't as much as you would think they are. A better value than jumping up to the M3. A IIIc would do you right without crushing your pocketbook.

Indeed. I have one IIIc, the II, and the M2 left. Keepers.

Not quite, but I was able to sell most of them to afford keeping a few and buy a new scanner!

@@FilmCameraObsession what scanner?

Thank you. I've been loading them with film to check them out.

​@@FilmCameraObsession i had a M2 a few years back, sold it then got a M3 i do regret selling the m2, but the m3 i love it. also i can get one of those Leica II black version but i would need a LTM lens, i am curios of having one of those old ones.

@@rickytrix I didn't think I would like the LTM after the M3, but at the moment I'm digging them.

Isn't it a beaut! Despite the really difficult range finder, I love shooting it. It is a keeper in my collection for sure.

Nice! Congrats. The focus ring should be smooth and easy. It will need a CLR. I highly recommend Youxin Ye in New York. He has a website. The focus will always be difficult. Most people added a separate range finder focusing column.

Sigh. I just sold the IIIg, which I was hoping to hold onto. BUT, I still have the Leica II (check out my video on it) and the M2. Those are staying! But selling them allowed me to keep these two for free and make a little money. I am still kicking myself for selling my M3 double-stroke.

I kept the M2! And the Leica II. The M2 needs a little work, but it is a wonderful camera.

Yes! Full agreement.

It is so very cool. I will have a show dedicated to that one camera soon.

@@FilmCameraObsession great! Looking forward to it!

I have sold all but three! I am keeping the black and nickel Leica II--I love it! And I'm also keeping the M2, but it needs some work. I still have a IIIc to sell but I'm going to send it off for CLR first.

I've not had to do this yet, but soon coming. I have found this company nabell.com/products/camera-bellows/ but I can't speak to their pricing. I know new bellows can get expensive. Once you have them, it doesn't look difficult to replace yourself. I have only used Youxin Ye to repair my Leicas, and Dave's Camera in Michigan. But in the end, finding someone without a big wait who isn't overpriced is the key. Which model camera are you working on?

I will tell you I can definitely stand behind Youxin Ye. He is fast and fair.

@@FilmCameraObsession Kodak Vigilant six-20, 5 of them

@@MichaelCarter Nice! I had one of those but didn't have a chance to shoot it before I off-loaded it. Have fun refurbishing them.

Too late! I have four left. A 1932 Leica II that I just posted a video on. The M2. A IIIg that has an offer. And a IIIc that is for sale. I couldn't afford to keep them all!

@@FilmCameraObsession Should keep the IIIg. such a great camera.

I don't even know the model of either camera.

Sorry, my friend, they are all sold. I still have one IIIc that will need a good CLR, and I'm keeping the II and the M2. Good luck on your Leica search.

I've sold most of them.Three left. Two keepers.
