The lens is a Carl Zeiss Sonnar T 5cm, f/1.5. I used to live in Wiesbaden. Beautiful, elegant town. Went back last year, for the first time in maybe 20 years... Try these guys for the camera body. Gerry is brilliant and one of the nicest people around. http://www.kindermann.ca/ The 1.5/50 Sonnar is a milestone lens and reasonably rare in LTM mount. You may want to send it to this fellow to get cleaned. Great, great lens. http://www.zeisscamera.com/ The repairs may not be cheap, but a functional IIIf with THAT lens would be a joy to use. Maybe you can pick up a VIOOH finder for accurate framing. (ritzcam.com) Feli -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- feli2@earthlink.net www.elanphotos.com
