Re: [Leica] Leica IIIc & Indiana Jones

["Dan Post" <dwpost@email.msn.com>]

Nope... but in the movie " Das Boot", the photojournalist had what appeared
to be a really nice Leica with a brown leather case in primo condition.
Unfortunately, you never get a really good look at it from the front!
I was wondering what kind of film he was using though! I've been inside a
'pigboat', and the lighting is not at all bright! and he was snapping away
like he was suing a fast shutter speed! Made me glad that I stayed on a
'birdfarm' for the duration of my stint!
Cheers,
