Found this Leidolf Lordomat at a swap meet this morning. The shutter was
very sticky and it needed general cleaning up. A little naptha and elbow grease
and it works fine now. This is a double stroke (lever moves back toward
user) camera with a basic rangefinder (no frame lines or parallax correction)
and interchangeable lenses from 35 to 135mm. The included 50/2.8 Lordon
is in clean condition and is hefty with smooth focusing action and quality
build. The wide-base RF seems quite accurate based on lens markings and
the camera has a general quality appearance and feel. I will post some pics
soon.
Now the search is on to find more lenses!
BTW, I found the old film cans at the same place.
