Thanks for the link, Johan.
Why on earth would Leitz start numbering their lenses at 156,001??? Presumably the lower numbers had been used in microscopes and other gear, but it's hardly a round number is it?
Cheers,
Dez

No, the rewind knob can not be pulled up.
Yes, it is called a type "D" casette in my Leica handbook from 1940.
(Which - by the way - is marked "Talens - Foto Den Haag - Delft".)
Fortunately it took me some time to figure out how to open the casette - enough to realise that there was a still film inside the casette.
I will try a stand development with Rodinal 1:100 tomorrow.
Yes, the lens is indeet a little bit cloudy and might need some cleaning.
Regards,
Thomas

Wow, film inside!
We had a find here recently with three frames that were already developed (!) in a FILCA, the thread should be somewhere in the LTM forum here. They were wartime shots from Vienna.
This is getting better all the time

I just developed the film with Rodinal 1:100.
Unfortunately it was all black except for some white clouds.

What film was it? Any edge markings? Can help to determine when the camera was last shot!

It is labeled "PERUTZ" on the upper edge and has frame numbers on the lower edge (I can read a "22" and "29").
The film end at the spool seems to be cut professionally (symmetrically with round curves), while the (long) leader is hand cut.

Perutz (in German): http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perutz-Photowerke
Since being shut down, Perutz is one of the labels applied to Fuji Superia (I bought two or three rolls last year in amusement park 'De Efteling' at comparatively insane prices. That 'll teach me to carry more than enough film at all times. OTOH, you couldn't expect a place like that to even stock film nowadays, so still kudos...)
That's a lovely little Leica there, by the way!!

^^ means the camera likely was last shot before 1964 (unless somebody was shooting expired film but there really was no need back then)!!!
