Thanks, Chuck. I put the sensor shot in for Chris B.
I started out with a Leica III (factory converted to a IIIa) and an Elmar
50/3.5, back in 1952. They still work, but need cleaning up. I began to
have problems with the small finders on the cameras as my eyes got weaker,
and the glasses got stronger. The IIIc and IIIf are about alike except that
the IIIf has flash synch.
