[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Thanks Marshall Since I posted the questions I found a manual for free download - the Nooky is shown as an ekstra option in the back - the tubes are not - any way I downloded it page pr page and have printed them out and glued them together. The picture I posted was of the lot I bought taken by the place that sold it - I will eventually take a picture of all the gear lined up with much more affection - I found that I enjoy holding the camera even more then my M6 - look foreward to see the first results when I get the film back from the lab - all the best Ruben ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marshall Hunt" <huntmc2@fuse.net> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Monday, November 08, 2004 8:02 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica IIIF questions > Your IIIf was made about 1953. > > The extension tubes are for a device which you don't illustrate: either a > mirror housing or a Focaslide. > The NOOKY is a close-up device for the 50mm Elmar.
