At that time I was shooting a Nikon F, and before that a Spotmatic, and the Alpa was an ergonomic nightmare. A beautiful well made piece of fine Swiss nightmare. Everything seemed to work either upside down or backwards from any other camera in the world. The owner, a friend, recognised my discomfort and told me that he agreed, but it was so well made and the results were so good, that he didn't care and used one. The lenses had a very high rating. Like all things Swiss, it was beautifully made, but operation was a real challenge. -----Original Message----- From: Lluis Ripoll Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2012 6:44 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Alpa Leo, Many, so many years ago... 40... a friend borrowed me for half a day his Alpa, a lovely camera in his days, with Switar Optics, good glass...
