and picked up Nikon frames and lenses. We joked with the
optician about wanting Pentax SMC; she said Pentax made
lenses but such were not carried by her store.

Not sure about eyeglass lenses, but the diopter adapter I have for my

Some guy at who sells cameras at a local flea market had an old m39
Leica (can't remember which one, probably one of the III's) with that

He was asking $10,000 Cdn.

Wonder what's the use of that hinge for. An accessory for crushing your

You're apparently young yet. Most of use use the diopter so we can focus the
camera with our eyeglasses on. Could use the bifocal portion of the glasses but
that quickly leads to a sore neck.

Well when they first did it, the Leica was the only one who did it. BTW the
specs for the 135 film cartridge required the leader to be trimmed to fit the
Leicas. When you invent it you get to write the specifications (what a strange

I think they were chrome plated brass. And, that one is the special long leader

For a while I owned a Leica that was manufactured in 1937. I don't recall
