I'm trying to workout if it is an optical viewfinder on the top plate or an exposure meter. I have to say I'm impressed by how well the camera case has been reproduced.<br /><br />I just need one with an 8mm cine camera.James Finisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351798531269786632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409375129642703288.post-13167567284117433152021-08-17T09:37:16.800+02:002021-08-17T09:37:16.800+02:00Thanks for the input, James.

I'm quite nervous about the Leica Mk 2 as it may be a model later than my early 1950's theme.
