[Leica] Your First Leica?

[Peter Dzwig]

Mine was/is a IIIf. Yes it still works, but could probably do with a CLA
now. It doesn't get used much now because of the difficulties and cost
of getting film processed. I have half-a-dozen films that need
developing sitting here but I just am not set up for developing here.


Will I sell it? No I doubt it. One of the things about it, is that when
I do get it out it just "feels right". I don't have to describe to you
Leicaphiles what I mean, do I?

My M3...well that needs the prism replaced and has been sitting here for
a while waiting to be done. Again that has that special Leica feeling,
but very different from the IIIf. It has something to do with the
knowledge of what it meant to photography, and there is also a feeling
of "if it was that good why can't I photograph better?" But that is
motivational. :-)
