The faults of the Hexar are 1)admittedly withĪ/F you have to be darned careful where you focus on. Now use a IIIg, so I have a fairly good idea of what the strong I've owned an M4, CL, extensively used an M6 and
Nearly as good (and not just my opinion, see the likes of Herbert The viewfinder is great, better than the Hexar RF or the Voigtlander, (admitted by Konica) a direct copy of the 35 Summicron (non-asph). Hexar Classic (non-interchangeable lens). If you really only need a 35mm lens the best bet (IMO) would be the Think the CL a good choice for your purpose. Understanding that a repair (preferably by Leica) may be in order, I Have several previous threads on that, worth checking out. They are good camera from what I've heard.īe informed, though, of the meter reliability problems in the CL. Otherwise, I'd just order a Bessa R and a voigt 35. Or youĬould get just the body and a 40 for around $5-600 and use the extra Give you the extra to get a good CLA from Krauter or DAG. Seen a couple different CL + 40/90 packages for $8-900 which would I love my CL much more than I everĭid my M6 (Although I'm sure I'll have another at some point). I would bet the long term reliability of theĬL is better than the V'landers. Packages are still affordable and let you get into RF for a lot less The 40 is a great all around lens and super sharp. A few simple adjustments areĪvailable but no real replacement parts. I'm sure few will agree with me but I would go for the Leica CL or I only have try it out access to a Hexar at a local camera shop so I'm looking for user's comments about the strengths and drawbacks of these combos especially concerning the viewfinders for a glasses wearer. hexar rf w/40 or v-lander 35: very limit of affordability bessar r w/35: concerns about quality of rangefinder/body CLE w/40: now overpriced out of my range? / reparability if needed? CL w/ 40: nervous about reliabilty/reparability of 30 year old camera I have about $1000 to spend and really only want/need one lens (a 35 or 40). My F3 has great viewfinder but it's about as discreet as a bazooka. Plus the mirror black out, the slap, etc. Needless to say this leads to a lot of "I don't remember that being in the photo" after the negs are developed. I wear glasses and can see at most 2/3 of image in the viewfinder when taking a quick shot. The scenario: Using my fe2 for street/candid photos is driving me to a RF. ) : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread
