The LEICA M3<\/a> was produced between 1954 and 1966 with a couple of special German Army models in 1968. Most of them are in a chrome version because black cameras\u00a0were not fashionable these days. If you want to buy a black version nowadays, get ready to pay! The amount of Leica collectors around the world outgrows the numbers of produced models so prices are crazy high. If you ever see one appearing for sale also be ready to buy a fake variant that was painted.<\/p>\n

So – this was the Kodak TX 400 – the camera and lens seem to work. Do you like the pictures? Loading a different film<\/a> this time – as I mentioned – the experimental creativity is the most\u00a0important right now…<\/p>\n

Of course, you can mount also other lenses so lets try this camera also with one nice little Voigtlaender 21mm f4.0 lens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
