Advertisement Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Hi jc_braconi, Take a look here A little grain to grind/A little bit of Leica Camera Historica. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
bill Posted February 18, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 18, 2009 JC, I agree (and what a beautiful II that is). I have learned more in this sub-forum than I have in most of the others. Although I am not myself particularly knowledegable - certainly not compared to the likes of yourself and certain others (you know who you are) I find this a thoroughly enjoyable and convivial place. C'mon guys - let's get a bit more active! One suggestion - a small one - is new uses for old accessories. I am particularly thinking of my recently acquired D-Lux 4 that is wearing my even more recenty acquired SBOOI - just 'cos it's old doesn't mean it's out of date Welcome, dear visitor!

We don't own our Barnacks - we look after them for the next generation - give them some exercise - they will appreciate it!

UliWer Posted February 18, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 18, 2009 As I am feeling that this forum is a little bit asleep I post this pict to share. The German forum alone is more active than us. Great to see Your Hektor. In the german forum we just found out from DDM's marvellous collection that it was the most expensive Leitz lense in the thirties. Pity, chances to see photos taken by it are so rare. This is also true for it's little brother, the 5-cm Hektor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

darigle Posted February 19, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 19, 2009 Truly stunning, how envious I am JC. Correct about the prices, London catalogue price for your Hektor in summer 1935 was £29 and 5shillings! Compared to snapshot Elmar at £4 10shillings! And what I would give for one of those!

darigle Posted February 19, 2009 Share #6 Posted February 19, 2009 And my small contribution from 1931. Regards Alan Welcome, dear visitor!

luigi bertolotti Posted February 21, 2009 Share #9 Posted February 21, 2009 ... And another 7,3 Hektor from me ! Older (but they exist also with FIVE digits... ), conditions not so good after 77 years... but its soft leather pouch (ETTOX) still closes perfectly. Welcome, dear visitor!
