[Leica] IMG: Nostalgia

[Lluis Ripoll Photography]

Jim,

Your Leica III is beautiful! I’m used to operate with cameras I can use in manual mode, you and many friends use successfully these cameras but they are not friendly-user for me…

I started with a used Leica III, from 1935, which had been converted by the factory to a IIIa.  That was my standard for a small camera.  As my small contribution to an OM list discussion, I posted this image, made this morning.

> While Micro 4/3 is the favorite system with many people today, I still lean toward the size of the Barnacks.  Consequently, I have enjoyed the Fuji offerings and will probably remain in that camp. While I have mentally compared the Fuji X-E1 and the Leica IIIf, I had not put them side by side until today.  Not too different, wouldn't you say?
