wilhelm Posted November 1, 2000 Share Posted November 1, 2000 Jack, there were seven lenses: f:3.5/35mm, f:3.5/50mm, f:2.8/50mm, f:1.9/73mm, f:4.0/90mm, f:6.3/105mm, f:4.5/135mm. All were Elmars except the "high speed" Hektors. There were too many accessories to mention, do you have anything particular in mind or are you just fishing? The available film were 35mm movie film tails, which had to be loaded into special cassettes, which I believe were different from those for the Leica A. I think that preloaded casettes probably did not come into general use until Kodak introduced them for the Retina. HOVE has a copy of the 1933 Leica catalogue which is a year after the Model II was introduced, and inculded the Model III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack_mcvicker1 Posted November 1, 2000 Share Posted November 1, 2000 Bill, it's all for research, but what was the film speed, I have a figure of 25asa, faster film was available for larger format but 'Tail ends' were restricted. <p> Many Thanks, Jack.
