Leica Lovers Anonymous

No photos to contribute (maybe I will take her out for a spin) but I do have this. I learned the basics of film photography with this camera as a teenager in the l960's with a Weston meter and a darkroom. It was my dad's- he bought it as a IIIc and had Leica convert it to a IIIf in about 1960. I still have most of his cameras.

I have many old film cameras I would love to take out and shoot, never enough time!! I do use my MF systems sometimes, though. I just had my dad's (now mine) Rolleiflex rebuilt and can't wait to try it out.

The one thing I remember about the IIIf is that loading film was a huge PAIN!!
