I am considering buying my first film scanner. I have color & BW

slides, but mostly negatives in the 135 and 120 formats. I also use

4'x5' format, but I believe a film scanner in this latter format is

extremly expensive, so so I will look for a format of up to 120

(6x9cm).

Now! My collection of pictures dates more than 25 years and numbers

more than 50000 pictures, and growing. I do not want to scan them all

but have many to scan. I need quality, speed and reliability. would

anyone give me some advise ?

That is just the dilema! I bought it to use it. Now after all I read about this camera, I do not dare to touch it anymore. I will put it in my collection (collection of one camera from today). I guess I will have to find another one. Any suggestion ?

What a feedback! Thanks all.

The camera works perfectly and sounds smooth and crisp. The lens and camera threads are perfect. It seems it was not much used since the upgrade. I have now some hesitation about how to clean the lens which is probably the work of a specialist. (Any specialist living in the area of Brussels BELGIUM ?)

Here is a second photo<div></div>

Thanks for the quick answer.

The lens does not seem to be numbered

Here are some pix!

Beautiful Leica I, upgraded by Leica sometime in the 50s with a flash

socket and an accessory shoe for a flash and a syncro plug. Or at

least that is what a leica specialist told me. He seemed quite eager

to aquire my camera too...

Would anybody give me any info about this camera ?
