EPSON R-D1, la macchina che dimostra, se ce ne fosse ancora bisogno, la genialità,
velocità e concretezza dei costruttori Giapponesi ! Finalmente disponibile, presentata nella
mia sezione "Digitali", ma ho pensato di inserirla anche tra le Leica M... La recente Epson R-D1
è una vera M, solo digitale, ed io che la sto ormai usando da tempo la trovo "indispensabile" !


Per la favolosa Epson R-D1 stiamo facendo una offerta speciale, chiedere !
Per R-D1 abbiamo già realizzato 4 modelli di borsa, in varie finiture, Vedere qui:



Guardate come, con gli anelli adattatori, vi si possano montare anche
obiettivi di altre marche. A sinistra, un Leica Super-Angulon-R 21/4,
a destra l'altrettanto famoso ed apprezzato Nikkor 20/4 F, con
passo filtri 62mm, ed anello di mia produzione. Versatile, no ?
Pubblicherò, alle sezioni obiettivi, i VERI risultati fotografici
delle prove che sto effettuando, grazie alla velocità dela R-D1.

The Konica RF-M price is very convenient, actually. Leica M7 like, with built-in winder !


The Konica Hexar RF-M is a great camera, I have always it available, NEW or used, body only,
complete kit, and his exquisite Konica lenses, too. Also available the Titan one, with 50/1.2. ASK


Konica Hexar RF-M # 1450891, bellissima. La considero un'ottima fotocamera, magari
da affiancare alla vostra Leica M, quasi una M7, con motore incorporato !
DISPONIBILI NUOVE, CON GARANZIA POLYPHOTO, SIA
SOLO CORPO, CHE IL SET CON HEXAR 50, FLASH, COFANETTO.

A small item that represents one of the "secrets" of many professional photographers...
A new very special product MADE and offered by Leicatime !
Please, look attentively... I am introducing the NEW two "soft shutter releases"
buttons for Leica and other cameras, 16 mm diameter for your finger's comfort.
For Bessas I am making them smaller ! I know, several are offered around.
But, those two models are made in SOLID STAINLESS STEEL !
TWO models: "Concave" and "Convex" - Euro 20 each, choose yours !
NOW, you'll find the Leicatime website address engraved on their bottom.

I suggest you to purchase it/them along with a case, avoiding to pay the shipping
cost for the soft release, alone ! I already placed one in EACH of my own cameras... :-)

NEW PICTURES OF THE M 005...


 Look the M 005, the earliest (known #) modern M camera, close to a recent R8 body...


M3 # 740801, "gilded", with Elmar 50/3.5 lens and Leicameter MR,
both gilded, too. A questionable, but interesting "discussion" camera !
There is a visible dent on left upper corner (see pic), otherways a clean EX++.
The leather covering is a brown reptile-like skin, the camera works well, as well very
contrasty is the view-rangefinder
. Strap lugs and film dial on rear are still chrome

A new very special product MADE and offered by Leicatime !
Please, look attentively... I am introducing the NEW two "soft releases"
for Leica and other cameras. I know, several are offered around.
But, those two models are made in SOLID STAINLESS STEEL !
TWO models: "Concave" and "Convex" - Eur 20 each
Why I show them in this (cases) page ? Because I suggest
you to order it/them along with a case, avoiding to pay the shipping cost
for the soft release, alone ! I already placed one of them in EACH of my cameras... :-)


The softrelease screws into the remote shutter release mechanism inside the shutter button and provides a few advantages.
 
First, it physically raises the height of the shutter button, allowing you to use the joint or pad of your finger to fire the shutter rather than the tip. This results in a smoother action, more like squeezing a trigger than prodding a button, which reduces camera shake a little and is (to many people at least) more comfortable. Generally, the cable release socket also has a smoother action than the shutter button, so the softrelease turns it into something of a hair-trigger, which again helps reduce camera shake. The effect seems to vary a little camera-to-camera, but I find them essential items on my M6 and Canon P.
 
Most users experience a combined benefit of about a stop more usability in hand-held shooting: so if you find that you can normally manage sharp hand-held shots at only 1/30 a softie should allow you to go down to 1/15 and achieve the same results. Personally I find that, with the softie in place, I can manage decent shots of 1/4 second quite easily, and even 1/2 if I'm lucky (I must have steady hands).
 
The only downside is, as S. says, you do tend to end up with a few shots of the inside of your camera bag, unless you get into the habit of stashing the camera without winding on first. That said, film's cheap. (feedback from a friendly user...)


Now, also... in Black Paint !
However, I can't guarantee the paint duration... (NOW quite strong !)

I thought to post a feedback of a kind buyer, about this item(s) !  :-)

Positive feedback rating   Wonderful service. Soft release is well made. You won't believe the difference!
