Leitz 5cm f/1.5 Xenon on Leica M-E.
I checked it out.My 'photo diary' of that trip is currently featured on the Leica Place's main page. 😉
I only got interested in my grandfather's time in the Dutch army two years ago. By accident really. A friend working in the Dutch Army asked if I knew anyone who served during the Mobilization and the German invasion in May 1940, as he is working to get forgotten medals out to veterans or their family.Both my parents served, my Mom in England (plotter with Army Air Corps) and my Dad (Signal Corps - Pacific)
That is why I do it. If the public takes something away from what I show or tell them, that makes me happy.I know these are re-inactments. I am not looking for blood, sweat & tears, but it helps remember what war is.
Thanks,It is also gorgeous photography.
I have four or five at any one time. I learned on my first, but they really are easy to work on. Good to give to friends.Hi,
Luckily for us they are cheap nowadays and there are experts to repair them and so on but in the late 70's they cost a few pennies short of fifty quid and that's about 260 quid in today's money.

The camera is:
Fantastic design - a classic.
Built to last, but quite rough inside.
Endowed with a really sharp lens.
You can still pick them up for a tenner 🙂 .
