Few shots from my recently acquired Leica IIf

[Paul Taylor]

I bought a few cameras from a new found friend, and one of the cameras I bought was a Leica IIf w/ 50mmF2 collapsible lens. I wasn't planning on buying it, but it was in wonderful shape and he had some sample pics taken recently. I 3D printed a leader trimming guide and stuck some Ultramax in it.

I rather like the little camera, it is fun to use. These are just some shots from wandering around in one day. I am impressed with the sharpness of the lens. I have one of the variable focal length Leica viewfinders for it, so I was using that for "composition" (I use that term quite loosely when it comes to my photography lol....) and basically zone focusing everything. The rangefinder works great - but it is quite tiny. Lol.

I've only put Tri-X through my iiic (same lens as you have). The Ultramax looks great!
