That's correct, Raimo, but several cameras of that ilk
have been referred to as "Texas Leicas" over the years!

Sweeping B&W images, Nathan!

the US Army circa 1953.
All the best!

Enjoying the 6x9s!  Funny it's affectionately known as the 'Texas
Leica'.  I think 'Godzilla rangefinder' better represents it's
origins.  Godzilleica?
