[Leica] IIIf - HELP!!!!

[Peter Dzwig]

Luis,

Thanks. I played with the shutter speeds and finally it came free. I just have
to find some more film to put through it!

I had it CLA'd a few years back because one of the starp lugs broke off while I
was filming a wedding!

Thanks again. I will check him out,

Peter
