Hello from Argentina

Hi all.

I have been reading then Forum for several months (mainly learning from so many experts and aficionados) and finally decided to post.

I live in Cordoba and have been interested in Leicas since my childhood (I am 53 now). My father had a IIIG which is with me since 1998 and from that moment I have been able to collect some accessories and lenses of that system.  In 2000 I got a M3 with 5 cm Summicron.

Once I learn how to upload photos I will show what I bought recently searching on Internet sales websites here in Argentina (a couple of items just arrived today and I haven´t got the time even to open the parcels).

 

Greetings.

 

Alejandro.

Welcome and do make time to tell us that your parcels contained just what you anticipated.

Hola,

Welcome to the forum.

Before I retired my work took me to Buenos Aires on a regular basis.

I was lucky enough to find several interesting Leica screw camera related items at very reasonable prices.

The Sunday fair in San Tel more yielded an occasional interesting buy as well.

Best regards,

Oldphart

I live in Córdoba, where is more dificult to find anything related to Leica. From time to time I buy at Mercado Libre (kínd of E bay). The parcels I have received recently contained an Etrin case and a R ever ready case. The last one I was forced to decline because I thought it was for an M model. My mistake.

The Etrin one was nice and a special one, because is marked “Lutz Ferrando” in gold (the company that used to sell Leica in Argentina between the 20s and the 80s). I can upload Pictures of that as soon as I learn how.

BTW, thank you for the wellcome.

Cheers.
