[Leica] Loading the IIIc - speaking of IIIcs

[dlridings at gmail.com (Daniel Ridings)]

I had one of those in the 70'ies. Loved it. Was too poor to keep it
and buy Leicas though.

There are solid little boxes. Lovely lens too. I can't really remember
anything wrong with it. Folds up nicely.

Don't worry ... the possession is good for you :-) Nothing wrong with
film and digital getting along.

Best,
Daniel
