Hi Doug,
Sadly, my newly aquired Leica IIIf with a Canon 35/2.8 was in my backpack
when it disappeared in an unguarded moment. I bought a Zorki I with the
50/3.5 to use for the moment.
This Zorki looks like a screw mount Leica from a distance. There's no
slow speeds or 1/1000, no strap lugs, and the quality of finish is lower
than Leica. But I need the camera with me at all times. It was only
about $60.
Cheers,
Rich Lahrson
