Raid, if I had all the photo "junk" today that I sold way too cheap 40 years ago? But who could have known? Uncoated 50/3.5 Elmars sat in rows at camera stores for $15 each while Summars at $20 did also. Really clean III-A bodies for $29.50 and mint Leicavits went begging for $25. People were dumping their old fashioned rangefinder cameras to jump on the SLR Express. The wave of the future! Sound familiar?

Al,

Of course, you are right. With the new equipment [digital] I doubt it that such equipment will ever increase in value. Just the opposite; it is junk after a few years, and can be thrown away to mess up the environment even more.

Fomapan 100,
I could probably have squeezed a bit more sharpness out of this scan, but my process flow wasn't particularly optimized around this time in 2016 ;)

I've neglected my Leica's a bit over the last month. But got a couple of events coming up in the next weeks. I'm sure the Hektor will get another outing.
