Testing Leica IIIC

[Liquid Fusion]

Hi. 1st photos I've taken in years!! Fuji 200 film set at ASA 100 shooting F11 / mostly F8. Using 25mm Voigtlander F4 lens and 135mm Canon F3.5 lens. Leica IIIC rangefinder non coupled lenses. Estimated focus. Works with 25mm lens / F8 Depth of Field. The 135mm lens is less forgiving. One possible solution is to bracket focus with the 135mm lens.

I'm sure the Canon 135mm 3.5 lens is rangefinder coupled.

Thanks. Love the 135mm. Will check it out. Rangefinder on Leica IIIC is very hard to see. Might need new mirror. Realize I must focus by RF as well as by DOF. Leica IIIC camera body / lens recently bought off Ebay. Seller called camera great!!! In email to me he called the RF Vintage - not as described in listing. Ebay was going to reimburse me, decided to keep camera. New shutter. Have receipt. Will repair RF when I can afford to do so.
