just a very old one

[Erik van Straten]

yes but there still will be a synch mechanic inside... so what's the use of getting rid of it

The mechanism of the synch almost certainly will obstruct good functioning of the camera. A good repairman will remove all parts of the synch and will replace missing or worn parts. Mr. Scherpenborg of Nijmegen in The Netherlands - for example - will recreate a perfect working Leica II if you wish.

Proteus617, if you like jewel or watch like quality look inside a Contax I.

By comparison the beauty of the original Leica concept is surely in its mechanical simplicity which really borders on genius.

synch will stay because it's part of the history of the camera... and by the way it's not a two conversion but a partial III (since it has diopter adjustement)...
may be slow speed were added and then removed but I don't think so...

any way this bird has flown... a lot
