I'm not sure what's going on, but suddenly we are being offered several
new rangefinder 35mm models. The latest is a "Zeiss Ikon". We also
got a Rollei, Nikon and even a digital.
Most seem to be some variation of the Cosina/Bessa. What started out

Wow looks like Leica is going to bite the dust.

It was only a matter of time I figured before this happens.

Al: Love the parody.  Not so crazy about the photo.  A lower shooting angle,
better exposure, better lighting, all could have helped a lot, and
maintained the pun you sought after.
Duncan: I enjoy the feel of the shot, which is what matters to me.  I just

I'm moving to Virginia soon and I'd like to send some pictures of the
area.  I just want a fully manual camera that will take decently clear

I have an opportunity to purchase a used QC4 that is about 6 years old.
