90,000 Photos--IIIf

[wjlapier]

I ran into an older gentleman, at my son's XC meet, who enquired about my Nikon 200/f/2 afs lens. Said he still had a Nikon F and Fe--and a Leica IIIf. I asked about the IIIf and he said he was the original owner. Shot over 90,000 pictures of which 30,000 went to National Geographic. Some were published. I was at my son's XC meet and was getting ready to take his pic when he ran by me. I never got around to talking to the gentleman afterwards. I wished I did. I hope I see him again.

I hope so too. There must be some fascinating images in that collection.

I've had my IIIf for 50 years now and I'm sure have not hit 90,000, but I did use at some track events; I hope you see him again:
