more pictures

I've been busy on the camera front. I've been focused on medium and large format (pun intended), which I will have more on later. A gordy strap customer sent me a picture of his Leica Standard to post on my gallery. I've long thought that the rangefinderless Leica Standard was a beautiful minimalist 35mm camera. They are generally pretty pricey so I had a project turning a Zorki 1 (a Leica copy) into a Standard rangefinderless condition. Seeing my customer's Standard got me to check out eBay and I ended up with a 1935 Leica Standard for less than most go for. I also finished off the Zorki Standard. The Leica shutter seems to be in good shape so I'm running a roll of film through it since the repair man I want to send it to is out of town until the end of the month. I love the simplicity of these cameras.
