This was a great camera. I used mine for more then a decade. The rangefinder patch just 'snaps!' into focus in a way unique to a modern Leica. I eventually sold the camera when I stopped using...

Nice camera. I used mine for a couple of years, putting a lot of slide film through it, but eventually sold the camera when I got out of Leica rangefinders.

Leicaflex SL

My favorite camera. Produced from 1968 to 1974. Things just pop into focus, in a very dramatic way, different from the micro prism focusing screens of other makers. Built like an absolute tank,...

Leicaflex Standard

Leicaflex Standard (Mark II) (circa. 1966). One of the smoothest cameras I've used; the film advance, the rewind; absolute butter. For you rangefinder folks, it's like an M3 in an SLR body.
