Welcome everyone to Week 17 of 2022, the Leica and Rangefinders W/NW Thread! Here's a scene from above Point State Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Leica II, Leitz 90mm f/4 "Fat" Elmar, 400TMY

Exactly right, thanks again!

Hello everyone! I thank you all so much for your kind thoughts. I am completely fine, however my mother (who's nearly 92) is in frail health and Thursday evening had to leave the nursing home for the hospital emergency room. I had to travel immediately to Texas (I live in Maryland); with the expert care of those involved, she managed slowly but surely recover and is now stable. I was able to return this afternoon. Again, many thanks for your kind thoughts and comments! And thanks to you Bill for jumping in to cover for me; I regret not getting in touch with you in advance of Thursday evening but I was just preoccupied. Hopefully I can give you a heads up in a more timely way! So then, speaking of Texas, this is near my mother's residence, the Enchanted Rock State Natural area, taken with a Leica M8 and a 35mm f/2.5 Voigtländer Color-Skopar PII. Cheers, Allan

Nice image, and hoping for a speedy recovery!

Thank you Rick and James! It's amazing how such simple cameras can mean so much, especially when they can still be used to further the memory. I also have my mother's Leica IIIg that she kept until recently... she's nearly 92 and finally decided it was time for me to take it over. :)

I haven’t posted here for a while, but in honor of my late Dad, whose birthday is today, who in 1974 opened up a dresser drawer to give me my first “real” camera, his circa 1947 ZI Ikonta C 521/2 (6x9) folder, here’s one of my recent favorites with this camera at the Pensacola Florida Beach. 105mm f4.5 Novar-Anastigmat, 400TMY, HC-110B.

Many thanks Christopher! I love that lens, an excellent value that does the job nicely. It pretty much lives on my M8, but I use it frequently with my M240 as a moderate wide.
