my Nikon F2a system

keep !!!

I thought you will say so

if not, 20mm f/3.5 AIS is mine, domo XD

I thought you will say so, too XD

I have thought about to sell all of my manual SLR system out lots of time. However, I never make up mind.
–
Seen in my contacts’ photos. (?)

OK,
I think that I should join the Nikon family, right?

Great set you’ve there! I wouldn’t sell the 20mm lens at any price!

Since I got into rangefinders, when I see photographers out and about with SLRs and DSLRs it looks weird: big clunky things.

I would recommend you sell them. Get a good Leica collection to pass onto the bairns.

@Klaire, are you really? let me know, happy to pass them to you with right price if you want. (minus the 20mm THOXT booked) None of them is white though XD

@PSA, yes, in short term, RF is easier/lighter to carry and in long term, Leica should be a better heritage than Nikon. I think I will sell them. BUT, this system, as I reckon, can only change into a Leica M4 body itself. This fact always makes me hesitate.

It’s a big step… But if you get the M body, you can get an adapter and use any Leica thread mount lens until you can afford an M lens. And there are lots of LTM lenses which are really cheap and good enough – like the Industar61.

Little by little…

yes, I know that.

I have two M39 lens (35/1.7 and 75/2.5, work well with my Bessa R) now and both of them came with a M adapter which means I can use them right away if I get a M body.

only if I can make my mind. ( the feeling is getting stronger and stronger everyday….)

I’ve been going through the same thing, Timo! Only, I’ve compromised and got a Leica iiif. Maybe next year I’ll get an M. Just now, I’m enjoying using the iiif.

Big big thanks to Timo!!!!!!!!! ??

enjoy your F2a, good machine really!

Salivating here…..

How’s it going, Timo? Got your M yet?

: not yet, sold some of them to a friend in Taiwan, and the others are waiting to be put onto ebay. will keep you informed, mate. (I will surely show off if I got a M, haha)

Have sold camera body, 20mm and 28mm to freinds, Just put the 50mm, 135mm and TC-201 onto ebay.

but after simple survey, consider about cost and fun, I think I might end up to buy extra lenses, i.e 21mm f/4, 15mm f/4.5, for Bessa R instead of a Leica M body.

anyway, turn from SLR to rangefinder for sure.

Maybe that’s the right way – it’s the lenses that count.

Having said that, since I got my IIIf, I do think that there’s something inexplicably satisfying about a Leica body.
