The Reassembly, Part #2
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008
Post Disassembly, the Leica IIIf I snagged off Ebay is starting to shape up. Picked up a 3.5cm f/3.5 lens and a multi-finder off Ebay as well. Up next is to order a new leather covering.
If you ever have a camera in need of a new covering, check out cameraleather.com. The web site is pretty dated, but this guy has everything from classic black pebble calfskin to red lizard skin coverings, if that’s your bag. It’s a pretty simple and cost effective way to bring an old camera back to life.
It’s difficult to tell from the photograph, but the chrome is pitting badly on most of the top plate, so I’ll probably end up stripping the chrome, and re-painting the body in black lacquer. Mechanically the camera is in great shape after I re-built the shutter and cleaned out the 50 years worth of dirt.
Have a look through the Leica IIIF tag to see a few images I’ve shot with it so far…
“Change Has Come To America”
Friday, November 7th, 2008
I have gone to bed with such a deep feeling of shame more nights than I care to remember in these past eight years. On November 4th, I fell asleep with the hope that our nation and it’s people can some how dig ourselves out of the colossal hole that has been dug.
“This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:”
“Yes, we can.” - Barack Obama
