Great stuff again. Im waiting for an M2 to come my way in the near future. Excellent insight into this camera. Thanks

Thank You for sharing your M2 experience. Strange enough you and I seem to share the same idea of what cameras to own; I got both M2 and Olympus Pen as well. Enjoy shooting both.

M2 is one of the best cameras out there, nothing to add in 2020.

👍👍👍 Great video I love my M3 Early in 2020 I sent my 2nd hand apo summicron asph 90mm to Camera works and they did an amazing job really quickly and the price was such good value.

I just got my M3 back from Camarworks. It took more than half a year but they did a great job on my M3 + DR Summicron.

I've been debating for quite awhile now between the M2 or M4. The M4 has the improved film loading system but I can't get my head around the stupid plastic piece on the film advance lever. The M2 is all metal, I think you've convinced me to accept the M2 slightly slower film loading system. I also know what you mean about a serviced (CLA'd) vs non CLA'd M2. I've tested both in the shop and there is nothing like the buttery smooth film advance and the shutter feel from a freshly CLA'd M2. Pure bliss!

I am thinking about getting a canon p since a leica is out of my price range for now. Amazing video and I am really excited in getting a rangefinder!

My M2 is with Cameraworks at the moment. How long did you have to wait?

I've used the black Jupiter 8 loads and it's very good. I've heard not so good things about the older silver ones though.

I have the same style M2 and my first lens I used with it was a Jupiter 12 as well I upgraded to a Canon 35 1.8 which is a fantastic lens!

If you adept the screwmount lenses, can you still calibrate them to the rangefinder or will they work no matter what?

Expensive rabbit holes, Leica and Contax. I have a Zorki 4K with the awesome Jupiter 8 50mm f2 lens. £50 well spent. Excellent with any film. Easy to load. Eyepiece correction lever.

I have an M2 , now I have a Zeiss biogon and a summicron , have you looked at old canon LTM lenses they are really nice and relatively cheap . The cannon 50 1.4 is very nice.

Fomapan did not want to load well into my M4 or M4-P as well as an M4-2 I tried and they have a quick load system. Would not stay on the spool and advance without much difficulty starting it.

Greetings, does your R Button protection rotates ? I just notice that mine spins around the axel.

great review, thanks for sharing. What are the red disks you have on the lugs?

A good consideration for people that want a Leica but don’t want to pay $1,000 is the Leica MD. Based off the M2 but doesn’t have a viewfinder so you have to zone focus. About to get mine soon, less than $300.

With the Meter MR, in the bright daylight, are you using it on the red mark, or do you turn the knob top left to the black? That is the selector between High and Low modes for reading the light, and if you are not moving it when you are in the brighter lighting situation, may cause that inaccuracy you mentioned.

How would you say that this compares to the smaller OM1/2?

Hi, just wondering where you ordered the sync caps from... I'm looking for a set for my M3. Thanks

Can’t see why people don’t like the m2 spol. I prefer it over the m6 loading.

🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈what are you doing? I own a M2, M6 and a IIIf.... how are you loading film?

if you have an extra spool already preloaded there is not a faster way to load an M

how much did you got it?

How do you find a M2 so cheap?

Where's my Zorki ?

Too bad they dont have central shutter.

There is NO 'Y' in Nikon, I know americans mispronounce the name Nikon so what's your excuse ? If you don't believe me ask NIKON its their company !

Englishmen say i not I regarding Nikon, The I is for yanks, typically they do not know any better !!!.

Buys Leica to shoot cheap lenses and cheap film

I prefer the Olympus OM above a Leica M camera. Leuca is overrated by the starters in film photography. Any SLR is a no problem camera at all focus lengths. It is BS to say the Leica lenses are small or big. What to say when mountibg a 600 mm on the Leica M/ A grip for a Olympus Pen F ............? You must be joking ! A grip for a Minox? A grip for a Linhof Technika. A Russian lens on a Leica is like mounting a LADA engine in a Rolls Royce. Why putting a 100 ASA film in a Leica? Leicas are made for Tri-X, HP3, HP4, HP% and 1600 and 3200 ISO films Forget Sunny Sixteen ! It is nonsense. The sun at what time, in which month, where on earth? The lens thread is making a sound; it needs a drip of oil. Leica 5 CM ? Leica lens 5 centimeter. 50 mm. Hasselblad 500 C/M.
