Default Photogear LEICA,S?????

Maybe A strange story to started this thread
but Mine girlfriend,s sister asked me of I,m willing to go with her to buy just
a common analog camera

I looked out-side i saw the sun very Bright I say Okkey you turned me on

IMO the most expensive one,s were Minolta Canon or Kodak
but then we looked at another display and then we say a LEICA

just as they made it 60 or 70 year,s ago


The price 2700$

they also made digitall one,s with the same old body 4000$

I know they were the first of all that made these one,s and are veery collectible


but comming back at our interest are ther peopple that have some LEICA,S
that were used by the LW OR WH

Although I find the idea of photographing a Leica with a digital camera slightly inappropriate , I'll take a piccie of it over the weekend in natural daylight.

Hi,

I'm not a German native, I just live here to be as close to the source as possible .

It took me a while to find, but here is an image of a someone wearing a sleeve eagle and using a Contax.

This is strange...

If this German really took a picture then we're on that picture during the war..

This makes that our pictures are in wartime albums..

Better check out Ebay..., maybe your picture is floating around somewhere outthere..!!!!

BTW , nice camera..!

Jos.
