Subject: Vs: [Leica] Correfot
From: "Raimo Korhonen" <raimo.korhonen@pp2.inet.fi>

The Correfot was an unique promotional thing consisting of a Leicaflex which had the AF sensors and motor but was plugged via a long cord to a large computer which did the calculations. When? I do not remember. 
All the best!
