[Leica] IMG: Nostalgia

[Nathan Wajsman]

Some of my favourite equipment is from decades ago, like the 1.4/50mm Summilux or the collapsible 50mm Summicron or the 90mm Tele Elmarit. I no longer have an LTM Leica but I used to have a IIIf and enjoyed it a lot. I do have an M2 which I love using.

Cheers,
Nathan

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 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?
