Unfortunately I don't know anything about that camera, except that it was awesome. I'm not terribly familiar with older Leicas (even though I like them).
By the way, while this isn't mine it was recently for sale at my local photo lab for about $800, if I remember correctly. And I thought that was a halfway decent deal! (It came with the lens)
I've been away from the board for a while and in the mean time I became interested in vintage cameras and film photography, so now I can post in this thread.
An Argus C3 and a Bolsey B2, my first two vintage cameras. The Argus worked, somewhat, but the Bolsey had a malfunctioning shutter and...
A crop of a larger image I did for a company that makes and sells bicycle frames and components. They're now selling prints of this one on their website.
And this is a scene from a comic I was doing. Now I'm redoing it because I didn't like the way I drew the characters. This is the...

I finally got around to actually trying on the better of my two vintage ties, also the first time I've tried out one of my vintage collar bars. I think the knot is a bit too small, but it tied incredibly easily compared to my modern ties.
If I had trousers that had enough rise, I could...
It struck me the same way at first, but I think the suit is probably being deformed some because he has his hands in the pockets. I like the second suit, just not the tie or collar, but that's just my personal taste. Looking up pictures of Marzotto, I've found some very nice suits. I love the...
My house was built in 1946, presumably one of the post-war suburbs in my town. Now it's basically in the middle of town!
My brother and I live here, and we had to remodel the entire house just to make it livable. In fact, there's still a lot to do! Unfortunately, we also don't have...
