[Leica] Your First Leica?

[Jim Nichols]

Richard,

Since I recently turned 90, I'm a generation ahead of most of you folks, 
except for Dr. Ted.  My first Leica was purchased at the Salem Camera 
Shop in Dayton, OH in 1952, a Leica III that had been factory-converted 
to a IIIa, equipped with a coated Elmar 50/3.5. I still have it, but it 
is badly in need of refurbishment.  I have no intention of selling it.
