I used Leica M3, M4/2, M4/P and M6 35mm rangefinder cameras professionally for two decades, so have some good experiences with them. Like most manual cameras they’re simple to use and extremely reliable under all situations from weddings to wars. For years I also used a Leica IIIf RD/DA for pleasure… but, the sale of those fine cameras did not end a love affair ~ so if you’re a similar type you could link with “Ed Buziak / Fotoformat” on Facebook.Tumblr (3.0; @leicabuzz)http://leicabuzz.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a136ede6025a419c6a0bcfd08a8cdf8c/tumblr_mltfbvelX21qbgqa0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong><em>Sexy engravings…</em></strong><br/><em> (at Mercure Paris Centre Tour Eiffel).</em></p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thorstenovergaard.tumblr.com/post/48854450487/thorstenovergaard-paris-cameraporn" target="_blank">thorstenovergaard</a>:</p>http://leicabuzz.tumblr.com/post/50433005414http://leicabuzz.tumblr.com/post/50433005414Tue, 14 May 2013 20:28:43 +0200Leica35mmfimrangefindercamerablackGermanThorsten Overgaardedbuziak<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b5557f8e410189a21b87d8345cbca315/tumblr_mmr8nh0mhY1qgfanco1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><em><strong>Charlotte Rampling with Leica M6…</strong></em></p>http://leicabuzz.tumblr.com/post/50425778273http://leicabuzz.tumblr.com/post/50425778273Tue, 14 May 2013 18:13:20 +0200LeicaM6filmrangefindercameraclassicactressCharlotte Ramplingedbuziak<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/76bea3cbea0d55c014c4a1059ec8af45/tumblr_ml2j4cEeyj1qd8msdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong><em>Vintage Leica advert…</em></strong><br/> (via <a href="http://www.lomography.com/magazine/lifestyle/2011/08/18/vintage-camera-ads" target="_blank">lomography.com</a>)</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://samuelchanyf.tumblr.com/post/49111450564" target="_blank">samuelchanyf</a>:</p>http://leicabuzz.tumblr.com/post/49445435632http://leicabuzz.tumblr.com/post/49445435632Thu, 02 May 2013 19:08:31 +0200Leica35mmfilmrangefindercameravintageadvertGermanLeitzedbuziak<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b339a42280dce9fab6044f34ec3b39e6/tumblr_mltceimugB1qbsvjmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong><em>Screw Leica…</em></strong> <em>no pun intended!</em></p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://ilovemyleica.tumblr.com/post/49058603546/via-reduce-to-the-max-but-does-it-float" target="_blank">ilovemyleica</a>:</p> <p>(via <a href="http://butdoesitfloat.com/Reduce-to-the-Max" target="_blank">Reduce to the Max! - but does it float</a>)</p>http://leicabuzz.tumblr.com/post/49069055006http://leicabuzz.tumblr.com/post/49069055006Sun, 28 Apr 2013 07:21:40 +0200Leica35mmfilmrangefindercameraclassicvintagegraphicposteredbuziak<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7ffa51ddcd958dc8fb4aef08eca1f822/tumblr_mgbr6vjzni1rs27dzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em><strong>Leica M3</strong> (1958 brochure)…</em></p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://fromand.tumblr.com/post/40158607399/leica-m3-1958-brochure" target="_blank">fromand</a>:</p>http://leicabuzz.tumblr.com/post/48534371633http://leicabuzz.tumblr.com/post/48534371633Sun, 21 Apr 2013 18:34:29 +0200LeicaM3Leica M3Leitz35mm rangefinderfilmcameraGermanbrochuregraphicillustrationclassicedbuziak<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/81fe4162eb291115fe62f2aa66211457/tumblr_mha0k4oP2Z1rzhoxpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em><strong>Leica + Moleskine…</strong></em></p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://maletrends.tumblr.com/post/41596070436" target="_blank">maletrends</a>:</p> <p><a href="http://maletrends.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">MALE TRENDS</a> <span class="Apple-style-span">A blog about men’s fashion, lifestyle & more.</span></p>http://leicabuzz.tumblr.com/post/48103601821http://leicabuzz.tumblr.com/post/48103601821Tue, 16 Apr 2013 07:21:27 +0200LeicadigitalrangefindercameraMoleskinenotebookedbuziak<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/62ee1c26f2348d7f1675aad2ba5cc159/tumblr_mla3yaCZ571qj0iojo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em><strong>Leica 250 Reporter FF, 1934.<br/></strong></em><br/><em> Leitz, Wetzlar.
