I showed my Dad the Leica M8 and he was ecstatic, then I told him it was my first time using a RF camera
" Not so fast " he says, and he digs out some prints he had made from some old slides he had.........
Here is a shot I took in 1977 using the Zorki 4 ( isnt that a clone of the Leica III?) , Im not sure whats more amazing, the fact that I took the shot 34 years ago, or that he let a 12 year old use his Zorki camera
After he told me and showed me the shot, the memories came flooding back, and it was a bit emotional looking at them all, but I do recall that teh camera was VERY heavy and cold to the touch and the knurling on the aperture hurt my fingers. But its a time that I had totally forgotten about.
cool
