Re: First 24x36 digital
Same as mine but a decade newer. A delightful lens.

Re: First 24x36 digital
Bob's is the "full featured" version of the typ 262. Mine is the stripped down model ... no LCD, no menus, no settings other than date, time, and the usual focus and exposure settings. It costs a little more but it's worth it. ;-) G On Jul 11, 2016, at 01:03 PM, Larry Colen wrote: Bob W wrote: A few weeks ago I bought a used Leica M typ-262, which is my first 24x36mm digital camera.

Godfrey's MD is even more stripped down than mine - it doesn't have a screen, therefore no menus at all, just iso, shutter speed, shutter release, aperture and focus. Lovely.

Re: First 24x36 digital
Some bits do cost an inordinate amount of money, while others are amazingly reasonable. Most extreme case I've run into was my ca 1959-1960 Hektor 135/4.5: the lens cost me $175 in near mint condition, but finding the correct cap and lens hood for it was nearly another $90. So much for a couple of little bits of plastic. Which 35/1.4 do you have? I have a 1972 version 2.. I don't recall the hood as being horridly difficult to find or terribly expensive. I think I got the hood from EBay. (BTW: I love this lens! It's the original Walter Mandler design, very small and light for its speed, and has the most beautiful rendering qualities—very adjustable with the aperture as well.

Re: First 24x36 digital
Thanks. Glad to hear you bought the MD, and looking forward to seeing what you do with it. I'm mooching around central London today, taking snaps in more traditional London light, more accurately rain at the time of writing. I thought about the MD while chimping, and decided that it would be nice not to have the temptation there. I popped into the Leica pushers earlier to see if I could get a decent replacement for the 35/1.4 hood. It turns out that even in battered condition like mine they are very sought after, so I guess I'll get my blacksmith to beat it back into shape. Typical Leica.

Re: First 24x36 digital
Hi Bob, Good stuff! I'm glad you're enjoying the M262. I am similarly delighted with the M-D262 … There's something utterly liberating about going out with a camera for which there are no settings other than the traditional settings of focus and exposure (ISO, aperture, time). It works just the way my head wants a camera to work so much of the time. I look forward to seeing more. :-) G > On Jul 10, 2016, at 1:38 PM, Bob W wrote: > > A few weeks ago I bought a used Leica M typ-262, which is my first 24x36mm > digital camera.
