Addicted to Rangefinders
I was in an auction today for a leica IIIb which was from a collection of an old photographer in Brighton, ON. I was expecting I could buy it for around 150-200 CAD and have it fixed and enjoy but no!!
The starting price was 100 CAD and in 5 sec it was sold for 600 CAD! Isnt it crazy?? I had a quick look the camera but not throughly. It seems ok physically but I am sure It needs CLA as the viewfinder was foggy and etc...
I dont think people were so much aware of the photo equipment but it was the respect for Leica name...
Do you think this set worth of that much money even in bad condition?
