[snip] PLOOT: Mirror reflex housing with fixed magnifiers and double cable release (1935). Modified in 1940. Basically a Visoflex 0. PAMOO: looks like an eyepiece for the PLOOT. I'm not sure how it could be managed without people cheating, but it would be fun to have a Leica(Leitz) acronym contest. Sort of like a spelling be. Last survivor wins an M6 with 35 ASPH. Dan C.
