Leica IIIc with a 50mm F:2.0 Summitar lens - the quintessential "Barnack Leica." It has shutter speeds 1-second to 1/1000th sec. Rangefinder is seperate from the viewfinder, which can slow things down a bit while shooting - but it is bright and easy to use. There is no accommodation for using flash – which suits me just fine. I have yet to do any serious shooting with this old bird – but I recently had it overhauled – so it is ready for the call. I had one back in the late 1960’s and just wanted another for my working collection.
I'm an emergency room physician since 1982. Currently I do what is called "locum tenens," working at various locations for weeks to months at a time. States I've worked include New Hampshire, Ohio, Indiana, Arizona, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Montana.
My Father got me started with adjustable cameras in the early 1960's. My gear includes basically three systems - Pentax Spotmatic (mid-late 1960's); Nikon FE2/F3HP (mid-1980's); and Leica M2/M4 with late Canon LTM optics and one Voigtlander lens. My first serious digital was a Panasonic LUMIX DMC LX2 - a startlingly versatile little instrument. I've recently picked up a Canon 5D body - on which I'll use my Asahi Super Takumar and Auto Vivitar lenses until I can afford some more contemporary optics. There are an additional fifteen or so 35mm and 120 roll cameras.
