Richard and all,

Ilse Bing took her "Self-portrait with Mirrors" in 1931 and her 
black-paint Leica on a table tripod and cable release is seen in the 
photo. I kind of guess the camera was Leica II or III.

Anyone who has seen the photh? Is the lens Hektor f=5cm 1:2.5? The 
barrel seems bigger than Elmar.
