Ca$h,
That's a beautiful old Leica range finder camera. Is that an M-4? And why did you get a range finder and not a Leica SLR.

That is purty... ..but I have the same question as Larry of the three I's: Why the range finder and not an SLR?

hehe. I'll give you all the details once more people have seen it.
BTW: SLRs are okay, but I like the size of this camera, and the look of it. - Ca$h |

Leica
<Why the range finder and not an SLR?>
Price perhaps? Collectability? I wonder what the year of manufacture is. A buddy of mine in the Navy had a rangefinder Leica, much newer than this one. It seemed to be assembled like a Swiss watch. I was forced to settle for a lowly Nikon F. Don

Nice buy, Rob. I still have an Olympus Wide-E, sold with the Sears "Tower" brand name in the late '50s. I paid $19.95 for it new, which was a week's salary for a part timer at Sears back then. The wide angle 3.5 lens made any kind of precision focusing unnecessary, hence no range finder. However, it had a nice built-in light meter on top & had the Swiss watch precision feel to it. I took hundreds of slides with it, & passed it on to my daughter who learned photography 101 from this old friend. It's still functioning 100%. I have to go cry now.
Ron.

<with the Sears "Tower" brand name>
Heavens to betsy! I had completely forgotten about the Tower name! That was in the days of Silvertone and David Bradley! Don

K guys, here's the shocker, that ISNT a "Leica".
Any curious folks care to dig up information? If not I can just tell you. But that was a hint. - Ca$h |

Its a russian copy, probably converted from a Zorki. Beautiful camera regardless, and pretty interesting history. Made by some unknown group of people in small batches by hand. Hehe.
I can't wait! It's being shipped from Moscow tomorrow! - Ca$h |
