jc_braconi Posted March 2, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Making a little come back to 1936 year, I tried here to reproduce the illustration from this English catalog from Leitz Wetzlar and 20 Mortimer Street, London W.1. With a Leica III black paint and chrome, with PLOOT reflex housing, here is a second model, change the shape from the sleeve around the mirror lifting button, see further illustration. With Telyt 4.5/200 OTPLO topped by original UV filter The double cable release OZWTO is a 2 clamp box model. Not included, to match the illustration, are the sunshade and front cap. I add 3 scan from pages of catalog, 1 is the front page of Leitz English 1936 printed catalog, 2 is from the same catalog the price list of items illustrated, 3 is a price list of lens in Reich Mark from a 1936 printed catalog the back of which is stamped : Hadler & Hilgenberg , Photo-Kino- Röntgen, Berlin W 35, Postdamer Str 75. In it you can find also the price about the Telyt 5/400 illustrated in post 9... Edited December 22, 2010 by jc_braconi Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonardT Posted March 2, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 2, 2009 JC, You more then succeeded in what you were trying to duplicate. The reason I say more then succeeded is I think Leitz cheated the way they show the release sticking out like that. Well done and another beautiful set.

darigle Posted March 3, 2009 Share #8 Posted March 3, 2009 JC illustrates the PLOOT; here one alternative (useful I believe at infinity and for 'quick shots!) which shows the TZFOO and viewfinder SFTOO on my user Leica II from 1932. Also some endorsements on how to use the Leica Model D (II) in the New York brochure with a picture candidly taken of Albert Einstein. Regards Alan Welcome, dear visitor!
