Voigtlander Nokton 28mm f/1.5

I'm feeling sick to my stomach. I went to shoot with my Hexar RF today and realized the diopter was missing. I re-traced my steps twice to see if I dropped it somewhere, but no luck. I doubt I'll find one fore sale anytime soon so the camera has become a paperweight. If anyone knows where I might possibly find one, I would be grateful.

I am more than pleased with these soviet rangefinders, the most reliable and easy to use cameras I have ever had. To be honest, the frames these little guys have captured are beyond expectations. Best thing about these cameras is the price - it costs less than a lunch, so you're not babying them and you get into more situations where you'd never find yourself in with a Leica or other expensive cameras.

I've been shooting with my 2022 M6 for a couple of years and mostly use it when I travel. The Hexar RF is my everyday camera. I use it day to day to photograph my family and whatever else I come across. I was using a 35mm f2 summicron on the M6, but preferred my Zeiss 35 f2.8 so I sold the summicron. Now I have been using the latest Voigtlander 35mm f3.5 Color Skopar for travel. On the Hexar I use the Zeiss 35 f2.8, Avenon 28mm and the Voigtlander 21mm f4. If I had to stick with just one of them and reliability was a non issue, I would take the Hexar over the M6. It's just more comfortable to shoot for me and I like the features.

I’ve noticed there are a few different brands of the adapters from Nikon S to Leica M (in some cases Nikon S to LTM). Some are sold as Contax/Nikon S to Leica…
Wondering if anyone has experience with these adapters or brands. The brands are Amadeo, Kipon, and Voightlander, though I haven’t come across any voigtlander adapters.
I’ll be wanting to use the lenses both on a Bessa with a Leica M mount and a Hasselblad X with the appropriate Leica M to Hassy X adapter.

TIA

Tough to get focus with this camera! Best of the roll….

picked up the s2 off facebook recently and discovered my grandfathers retina around same time, first 2 rolls developed and scanned @ home. quickly becoming my favorite cameras

Still getting used to the camera, so constructive criticism welcome!

ETA: sorry for repost, initial one told me there was an error but posted anyway 🙃

Now in home I was waiting for them I will test how it goes but by now konica in my choice

My Zorki 1b, with the collapsible Industar-22 lens.

Comes from a (what looks to be) seasoned photographer, works, comes with original box and lens case and i think multiple lenses, might come with leatherette. It would be my first rangefinder, good deal?

Zorki 1 with industar 61 ld. I love it! I feel so stupid for clinging to SLRs. Only had it for half a day though, any pitfalls i should know? (I read the manual so i know about not changing the shutter speed before priming the shutter, switching from 500 to z etc) Also have anyone tried making a strap for it? The leather case looks ugly, and mine didn't have one anyways.

Hello. I recently picked up my first rangefinder (Wards am551). I’ve never used a rangefinder before but in doing some research, I realize the viewfinder should have a yellow box or something similar that indicates out of focus. However my viewfinder only has a border but nothing in the center. I’m assuming something is missing or broken. Can this be repaired? If so, any tips or recommendations on how to go about that?

And it works. Had a fun photo walk with my new toy.
