Show me your Patina

[kshapero]

Those of you who have a camera in black paint with Brass tops and bottoms, please show your patina or commonly known as brassing. in my experience, brassing doesn't always look pretty. Other times, it looks really great. Please no photos of manipulated brassing. Looking for natural ageing. You do not need to be the owner.
This is a just for fun post.😀

(This is not a Leica only thread, lot's other camera makers fit the bill)

USD 40 for a 536/24? That's a bargain! Congrats.

 

[Chubberino]

Thanks! Not sure what I'll do with it. I'd love to get it in working shape.

What's that?

Edit:
NVM, but really not sure if I want to tackle this one, though it sounds intriguing.

What's that?

The 536/24 is shutter-wise the Contax I's twin sister.
But perhaps the first step would be to open the front: is it a Triotar or a Tessar lens?

 

[Chubberino]

Tessar lens 3.5

My first serious camera, Minolta SRT 101 still working, which was also first camera of Annie Leibovitz!
