Wetzlar...

Now - we are digressing but it is all lovely machinery. I have never gone for rangefinder cameras (and it is those which are the real Leicas?), but if instead of Wetzlar it had been Braunschweig (Rolleiflex), then now we are talking!

Dear all,
with the help of Andy E we managed the following:

Is that a modern truck or is it older? What manufacturer and model name?

From the photos it is obvious that you lapped those cars several times. :D

Rangefinders have a certain purity as they were the first 35 mm still cameras , and Lieca are certainly identified with them. Their reflex cameras upto the SL2 were fabulous and just as jewel like as the rangefinders. Sadly after that they declined in quality and were infiltrated by the dreaded plastic !!
My father was a big Rollei fan and had many in his collection which I have inherited. Their quality is undeniable and the image they produce is superb but the TLR thing just doesn't do it for me. I don't find them intuitive to use. Although having said that the baby Rollei , the little grey one , I quite like !
If you want true precision though , early Contax rangefinders and Alpa rangefinders and SLR's are the pinnacle.
