Would this be a Retina IIIC? or a Leica IIIc?
My own set of cameras are in a mess but I do not recall any special demands
on the early Zeiss Ikon cassette or on the original COntax. I am positive
that my Contax I, Version 7, will accept a normal 35mmm film cartridge but
I am not able to confirm this at present and if I dared break open the
boxes set for shipment to check this, my German-heritage, farm-raised,
masters-level RN wife would break my wrists and do additional damage to my
body. She WANTS to get us moved, much more than I do. She has already
moved the VCR tapes and DVD's which I want to watch, a kind sort of
inducement to get my butt down the road.
Give me four mounths, and I will be able to speak from exemplars at hand.
