I want some of that stuff! Well, I owned a Contax IIa, complete with a *very* long base rangefinder, in the mid-late '40s. That long base rangefinder, a 1/1000 shutter speed - - coupled with the focusing wheel on the top plate - - made it a helluva' camera. I only had a 50 mm f 2.0 lens for it. In many respects, I still miss it. Sigh George George Berger gberger@his.com
