It comes as moments when you’re asked simple questions like “What’s the best camera…?” or “Which is the most significant camera ever?” The brain starts working, the heart beats nicely and the mouth moves but if an answer appears at all… it’s a long and complicated one, full of design details, historical moments and personal rationalizations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eFortunately answers come quicker when we are asked to feel more and think less…. Matters of the heart are easier to answer and to agree on. The eye and the heart have a directness and honesty that the brain lacks as it struggles to retain, comprehend and balance all the many details.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eSo here’s a simple question for the heart. What is the most enjoyable camera of the 20th century…? I don’t know about you, but I see the answer almost immediately. I can also feel it between my hands. And it’s a surprising answer because it runs counter to my technology oriented brain. What I see is not the most expensive, the rarest or even the most sophisticated. That evidently doesn’t impress my heart… which is why the heart and the mind are such a good match. They need each other for balance. The brain tells us what we think we need and the heart tells us what we want. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eThe most enjoyable camera ever….? I thought it would be a Pentax Spotmatic but it’s not. The winner is a screw mount Leica. It’s honest, it’s significant and above all it’s great fun to be with. The Leica is like the perfect partner that some of us search our entire lives for. It has that unique mix of something for the heart, something for the eye and something for the head. It’s that perplexing mix that insures we never tire of being close. And when you cradle it in your hands, you’re not simply picking up a camera… it’s more like being reunited with an old friend. A friend with rich sparkling stories of adventure and history, life and death, valor and treachery, lives and passion… And like a faithful friend it will go on and on recording our adventures, our children’s adventures and possibly be still there for our grandchildren to enjoy and to remind them of our life, excursions and adventures. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eThis camera’s own life is long and colorful.

The shutter curtains look like new, are completely light tight and run very smoothly. The coupled rangefinder has been cleaned and the image is very easy to see and focusing works smoothly \u0026amp; accurately. The view finder is clean and bright. The camera winds very smoothly and all shutter speeds, B \u0026amp; 1\/30 thru 1\/500th are appropriate.

It comes at moments when you’re asked simple questions like “What’s the best camera…?” or “Which is the most significant camera ever?” The brain starts working, the heart beats nicely and the mouth moves but if an answer appears at all… it’s a long and complicated one, full of design details, historical moments and personal rationalizations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eFortunately answers come quicker when we are asked to feel more and think less….

And it’s a surprising answer because it runs counter to my technology oriented brain. What I see is not the most expensive, the rarest or even the most sophisticated. That evidently doesn’t impress my heart… which is why the heart and the mind are such a good match. They need each other for balance.

I thought it would be a Pentax Spotmatic but it’s not. The winner is a black screw mount Leica. It’s honest, it’s significant and above all it’s great fun to be with. The Leica is like the perfect partner that some of us search our entire lives for. It has that unique mix of something for the heart, something for the eye and something for the head. It’s that perplexing mix that insures we never tire of being close. It’s the perfect mate to be marooned with on a deserted island. The finish is smooth and worn. The knurled metal knobs have lost the rough sharp edges through years of loving use. And when you cradle it in your hands, you’re not simply picking up a camera… it’s more like being reunited with an old friend. A friend with rich sparkling stories of adventure and history, life and death, valor and treachery, lives and passion… And like a faithful friend it will go on and on recording our adventures, our children’s adventures and possibly be still there for our grand children to enjoy and to remind them of our life, excursions and adventures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eThis camera’s own life is long and colorful.

(After that, production switched to a simplified plain top. This plainer second version was produced until 1937 and is much easier to find.)    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis camera was produced by Zeiss-Ikon in Dresden, Germany. It uses normal 120 roll film (but if desired it can just as easily use 620 film because the camera was designed to work with both film types.) The camera still has its original viewfinder mirror. The mirror has some age-related marks but this has no effect on the viewfinder image which is clean and clear.  Focus and manual settings work as they should. The shutter has been carefully \u003cstrong\u003ecleaned, lubricated and adjusted\u003c\/strong\u003e. It fires smoothly and all speeds (T, B, 1\/25, 1\/50 \u0026amp; 1\/100) are appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis camera is fitted with a 4.5\/80mm Novar lens which is based on a classic Cooke design with three elements in three groups. It’s well known for the attractive rendition and bokeh it produces. The glass is in excellent condition. It’s, clear and clear. This Zeiss lens has an excellent reputation in Europe for its rendition, attractive bokeh and its soft smooth backgrounds. There are no scratches, just the usual light cleaning marks (but you’ll need a magnifier to see it) and it’s capable of producing beautiful photos with modern color \u0026amp; B\u0026amp;W films.

It comes as moments when you’re asked simple questions like “What’s the best camera…?” or “Which is the most significant camera ever?” The brain starts working, the heart beats nicely and the mouth moves but if an answer appears at all… it’s a long and complicated one, full of design details, historical moments and personal rationalizations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eFortunately answers come quicker when we are asked to feel more and think less….

And it’s a surprising answer because it runs counter to my technology oriented brain. What I see is not the most expensive, the rarest or even the most sophisticated. That evidently doesn’t impress my heart… which is why the heart and the mind are such a good match. They need each other for balance.

It’s that perplexing mix that insures we never tire of being close. And when you cradle it in your hands, you’re not simply picking up a camera… it’s more like being reunited with an old friend. A friend with rich sparkling stories of adventure and history, life and death, valor and treachery, lives and passion… And like a faithful friend it will go on and on recording our adventures, our children’s adventures and possibly be still there for our grandchildren to enjoy and to remind them of our life, excursions and adventures. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eThis camera’s own life is long and colorful.

It also had the advantage of an extremely quiet, reliable Compur shutter which made it an excellent choice for covert use. Many collectors in Europe believe that these early Nagel Retina’s are at as important as the first Leica or Contax cameras because without the Kodak Retina and its universal film cassette, 35mm photography might not have developed into the major photographic format of the post-war years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eThis Retina camera has been carefully cleaned, lubricated and adjusted.

But the history of these legendary cameras is more complex than that. After WWII, Voigtlander managed to produce a small number of black Bessa rangefinder cameras. Presumably they were constructed from parts that had managed to survive the war and received subtle updates in fit and finish to increase their desirability. If you compare one of these rare postwar cameras side by side to a prewar Bessa, the changes becomes apparent. The later camera is covered with thick Moroccan leather (instead of the original cloth based leatherette), it’s fitted with a black faced Compur shutter (without the Voigtlander logo), the lens is set in a new style mount that allows the use of slide on filters. Also interestingly enough, the rangefinder cover is a few millimeters longer than the original, which hints at the development of a new rangefinder array which was ultimately fitted to the Bessa II. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 9.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eThis model was sold to help finance the restoration of the Voigtlander plant and the development of the new chrome Bessa II.

It’s been carefully cleaned, lubricated and adjusted to ensure that it will continue working for many years to come. Everything works very smoothly and it lends credence to the idea that the more a Leica is used, the smoother it works. The shutter curtains look like new, are completely light tight and run very smoothly. The coupled rangefinder which makes focusing quick and easy, works as it should. The image is clean and focusing works smoothly \u0026amp; accurately. The view finder is also clean and bright. The camera winds very smoothly and all shutter speeds, B \u0026amp; 1\/30 thru 1\/500th are appropriate. And in case you’re wondering, it uses normal 35mm film.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eIt comes complete with a Leitz film take up spool.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eAll in all, a wonderful collectable Leica.

It was produced in Germany as a top quality, double extension camera. The double extension feature is a valuable feature since not only does it allow the camera to focus at very close distances with the standard lens; it also means that various longer lenses could be used as well. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eAn interesting historical fact is that the Voigtlander Bergheil was Brassai’s favorite camera.

The Heliar is well known, well loved and is recognized as a masterpiece of design. It was an expensive top-qualitylens. For decades it was a benchmark of sharpness, but its greatness is not simply defined by high resolution. What photographers and artists love about this lens is the beautiful rendition in the fore and back-ground. It’s something the Japanese refer to as bokeh. Simply said, this lens has a gorgeous bokeh. Open up the lens or narrow the depth of field by getting closer and the focus rolls on and off silky smooth as cream… Soft out of focus foreground moves lovingly into sharp focus on your subject matter and then off again into gently blurred background. There are few lenses that do it as nicely as this. If you’ve seen it, you know what I mean.
