Manual Focus Combo

Nikon N2000 SLR mounted with 135mm f/2 Nikkor

18mm f/3.5 Nikkor

 

Leica M6 rangefinder mounted with 35mm f/1.4 Zeiss

90mm f/2 Summicron

 

 

My manual focus 35mm Nikon N2000 and my manual focus, 35mm Leica M6 make a good working pair. The Leica rangefinder works well with focal lengths between 21mm and 90mm. The Nikon SLR works well with focal lengths shorter than 21mm and longer than 90mm.

 

I use my Leica with a 35mm f/1.4 Zeiss, a 21mm f/1.4 Summilux, and a 90mm f/2 Summicron.

 

I especially like to use my Leica rangefinder with 21mm and 35mm wide angle lenses paired with a Nikon SLR with 85mm and 180mm telephoto lenses.

 

One minor feature the two cameras have in common is the location of the tripod socket. Neither has a tripod socket located in the center of the base plate. The N2000 socket is located on the left side of the base plate (side with film rewind crank). The M6 socket is located on the right end of the base plate (side with film wind lever).
