The camera I sold (the one in the picture) was a RD IIIf (SN 717570). The one I recently bought was a late issue IIIc (SN 484...). The only question left is how did I remember that IIIf SN after 45 years! :-) And Philippe, thanks for yor comments. I didn't crop it because it was a "found" photograph. I agree about the lightness near the bottom. The original was in pretty bad shape and that area was faded the most. I didn't spend much time trying to get it back to normal but it needs more work. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 http://pswango.smugmug.com/ pswango(at)att.net
