Please give more details of that LEICA beauty . Type and age would be nice.
A little lens porn:
Is it just me, or does the 17mm TS-E look like the love child of Darth Vader and R2D2?
It's a Leica If from 1956, with a 50mm SBOOI brightline lifesize viewfinder and a 50/3.5 Collapsible Elmar.
The If is essentially a IIIf without slow speeds or a viewfinder/rangefinder, which makes it a IIf without a viewfinder/rangefinder...if that makes sense...
It normally sports a 28mm Color Skopar and a 28/35 minifinder, scale focused.
