jc_braconi Posted November 21, 2010 Share #1 Posted November 21, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) POSTCAMERA The name "Postcameras" derives from the fact that the postal service of a given country was in charge of monitoring the telephone meters system.

iphoenix Posted November 23, 2010 Share #2 Posted November 23, 2010 Until recently I owned an Alpa 11a Post camera with the same mounting plate and (I think) Alon or Alor 35mm lens.The lens was interchangeable by first removing the mounting plate. Can you do this with the Leica Post And Has the shutter a full range of speeds? The Alpa had only 1/60th second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alos in Switzerland modified the bodies cameras for the Post administration. so the name of your lens is may be a derivative of this factory name. On this M3POST, you can disconnect the lens without tools and the speed is fixed to 1/50 on this MDaPOST you need to remove a screw for taking off the lens and the shutter as the complete speed available.
