My Leica and Other Cameras

Well, it is kind of what you might expect, being ignorant about these cameras. The informative site is www.cameraquest.com where I discovered an interesting question about my camera.

	Here is the camera, lens and strap.
	And this is the top view which shows the problem clearly. The serial number is not correct according to one list. Do I care?
	New gear. A recent M6 TTL, a new Summicron ASPH 35mm f2 and the Elmarit M 90mm f2.8. Older Cameras The M4-2 is actually my third Leica. This Leica IIIc was the first 35mm camera I bought. I was in high school. Unfortunately it never took very good pictures and was traded for the Nikon below which took some fine images. The second was a IIIf in the early 70's that may have taken a nice picture at the beach.
	In the early 60's I got a Nikon S3. The photojournalists at the time were beginning to try Japanese cameras and it was common to see them carrying the better version of the S3 called the SP. I had the famous Nikkor 50mm 1.4 and a wonderful 105 mm lens for this camera. I used it for shooting pictures for the local campus news paper called the Rag at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. Evidently this camera would be a real collectors item today.
