[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I am new to this users group but I am finding the post very interesting and fun! My experience has all been with Digital cameras and one newer Cannon 35mm. I have inherited a bunch of old cameras that belonged to my wife's father. He knew I was into cameras so I got a box of cool old stuff. He was a pilot and flew aerial photo planes in WWII and after the war for many, many years here in the US. He was an avid photographer since the 1920's and his cameras are all in excellent shape. One of the cameras that he had is a Lieca. I found an old roll of film in it from Seattle Filmworks(SFW-XL) and have found a place that will develop that roll but to be honest I will be surprised if there is anything still on that roll as I would bet that the film has been in the camera for 20 to 30 years or more. Double Exposure LTD is going to try and develop the film for me. What I desperately need and could user your help in finding is a user's manual for this Leica. I am told this is a IIIf model but I do not have a way to validate this. The serial number is 130934 and it is a Leica Ernst Leitz Wetzlar D.R.P. Thanks for any help you guys might can offer. Bill
