A typo, Stephen. Meant to say the Leica IV. The Contax IV was a much later thing and, obviously, emenated from Stuttgart, not Wetzlar. >does the 1948 Steinheil Casca II and its large finder with 85 and 135 >brightlines figure into this? Zeiss Ikon had gone to a large VF with the Contax II long before the War, and Leitz had decided that their next major upgrade would follow suit when they designed the Leica IV. Hence, I doubt if the Casca had any impact at all. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
