It arrived and looks great. My plan is to put a roll or two through it and then send it off to the spa:

Per Puts, both body and lens are 1937.

This is my 1934 Standard with the lovely little LTM 35/2.5 Nikkor

Both beauties! I tend to prefer the black paint bodies, but eh? I spend more time looking through a camera than looking at it. 🙂

I really do want a black paint version some day, but the ones I was finding were both more expensive and in comparatively poor condition. I’m beginning to think this one was serviced in my lifetime, it’s smooooth.

I would like to use a 28mm Leica viewfinder on my Standard, is there some king of hot shoe extender to clear the 50mm finder and speed dial ?
The "Promaster hot shoe to pc sync" is too tall.
