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.

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.

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.

Thumbs up

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.

Heavens to betsy! I had completely forgotten about the Tower name! That was in the days of Silvertone and David Bradley!

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.

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!
