Hi all:
?
I saw a very nice, CLA'd?IIIG recovered w/ black cowhide for only $500 in 
Seoul last Saturday, but didn't pull the trigger. I guess I declined due to 
world economic conditions. A year ago I would have given my right arm for 
one (I'm left-handed).
?
Bill

Hi Vick, fair comment on the seller. Nevertheless a lot of interesting items
to look at. I find it sad to see all of this gear from a Leitz museum now
out there for sale. Talk about selling the family silverware!
Sadly I don't have USD 57,600 for a IIIf either. 


Cheers
Geoff

Pick up your camera and make the best photo you can.

No, I haven't noticed.  If it is from Arsenal, I filter out his auctions;
typically they are overpriced, and I find it very annoying that he clogs up
'bay with his stuff.  He has a store with a pretty good web site; why
can't
he just stay there?
