[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've purchased my first screw mount camera, a old Leitz IIIf with Summitar lens. Its on it's way in the mail so I thought I'd better bone up on using it correctly, especially since I've never used a LTM camera before. I found a website that with photos explains how to trim the film leader and load the camera. What I'm looking for next is how to operate the shutter, reset the frame counter, rewind the film and interface with the viewfinder and rangefinder. I do have Edition 15 of the Leica Manual which has a small (1/2 page) description but no accompanying photos. Can someone recommend which Leica Manual edition covers the IIIf best or an alternative readily available information source book or web site?
