 Early Christmas present from dad got here. I have a strong feeling this is going to be my favorite lens in my small collection. Canon 85mm F1.9 in l39 screw mount(if that wasn't obvious). It is fuckin *hefty*. edit: VV unmodified Leica III. The A updated added 1/1000 shutter speed, mine only goes to 1/500. Admiral Bosch fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Dec 19, 2023 |

I'm an idiot, but I'm learning to shoot on a manual focus rangefinder film body and it's fine? Like anyone I get paranoid about whether things are lining up correctly when I get a new lens but I'm shooting things and getting results that I (usually) like and are perfectly in focus. What an insane argument. The only thing I wish I had was a perfectly calibrated eyeball for light metering.

Putting this here instead of the film thread since i think my question is more broadly applicable. My gear budget is on a slow timeline - I would like to purchase a reasonably nice 35mm SLR at some point this year. I am happy to take my time shopping, particularly as lens acquisition for said camera body will also probably be slow. I would like to get an SLR that has a mount standard on which I can put an adapter to easily continue to use my LTM/M39 lenses in the interim. Does anyone know off the top of their head what mount standards would fit this requirement? I know there are a lot out there that "can" do that, but I wouldn't be able to focus to infinity for the ones I've (briefly) looked at so far.

Well, loving... poo poo. Okay. Guess that frees up my range of future choices, at least. Thank you for the knowledge.

Okay, followup question. I watched a video on the Olympus OM1 and the rest of the OM ecosystem recently so that is just sort of at the top of my brain and was doing some ebay checking. I came across a bundle(it has all the earmarks of a "deceased father" who left a bunch of poo poo in the closet). Olympus OM-2N with a bunch of poo poo to go with it. People on the internet seem to love them, and I'm definitely thinking about it, just wanted to get some perspective and maybe some cold water thrown on me if necessary. https://www.ebay.com/itm/166577044157 The one thing, oddly, that is kind of hanging me up a little bit is that people say the OM family is fairly small in the hands. That's usually seen as a positive but I have big ape hands. Can anyone let me know how much of a big deal that is? I'm already used to fiddling with a Leica III, for comparison.
