whah nice. what a lovely old camera!
Thank you OP. I have had it for quite a few years, and never really used it.
Last year I sent it to the local Leica repair guru, an elderly and thoroughly nice gentleman, to "service".
Once he opened it up, it was a mess.
In the end he replaced (made new ones) the shutter blinds etc, and gave it a very thorough going over.
All works well now, and I am looking forward to using it a bit.
Against the light, well, the un-coated and slightly marked front element gives what can only be described as a "glow", LOL.
But, with the light behind you (a la Kodak's instructions of old), the images are lovely, from the roll of old colour neg I tried anyway.
Plan is to try a roll or two of B&W, more in keeping with the whole camera etc.
