First attempt with macro images of camera and equipment details from a bygone era, tried set up so that it also became a bit artistic. Have had my Rolleiflex for a few years but have not tried this before.

    @captainfantastic I agree. I also has a iiia, and I love that one even more, because it is a little more compact but with the same solid feel. Also has a M4, but it is different, more easy to get nice shots but love the old leica's the most. But a little funny maybe, my best lens for the iiia is a jupiter 8 from 1956 in aloy. You can se the photos i my album from Madrid www.lomography.com/homes/boxerclaus/albums/2209111-autumn-t…
    I had two lenses with me on that trip, the Jupiter 8 and a voigtlander 15mm f4 Heliar.

    Nice. It is more the norm that my Zorki 4 comes with a Jupiter 8.

    @neufotomacher I think the Elmar 50/3,5 is very sharp but it suffers more from flare compared to my Jupiter lens. I have two native leica lenses ltm, both Elmar 50/3,5. I also find the Jupiter more easy to use. In addition I own two voigtlander Heliar lenses ltm, the 75/2,5 and the 15/4. They are both very sharp. the 75 is so big, that it is difficult to use the viewfinder and makes the setup a little bombastic and clumsy. I do have a 15mm viewfinder for the cold shoe for the other lens. I highly recommend the 15/4 both for sharpness and because it takes up so little space. The 75/2,5 I use primarely on my canon P.
