While in Portland, I am attending a conference of The International Leica Society (LHSA).  In addition to photographing with the Leica M9 I brought along several older Leica film cameras to use.  Here are a couple of them.

This is a Leica III made in 1937.  The lens is a 2.8cm Leitz Hektor having a maximum aperture of f/6.3.  This was the extreme wide angle of its day. 

One of my favorite film cameras to use is this 1968 Leica M4 in black paint.  It has been retro-fit by Leica with a later M6 viewfinder that includes an extra viewing frame for a 28mm lens.
