Found at " La braderie de Lille", this camera has the inscrition "Made in Germany" on his back and has a french-made lens, probably a past- WWII-collaboration. Notice that the metal of the frontpanel is oxidised by the years. Surely not made by the Krupp-factory. The french were well know as rusty-car builders in the past.

Nice and compact, Skopar mounted Voightlander. Funny pose-counter with inverse numbers on top of the lens, it counts also in reverse.

N°262 : Leica M8 pimped with a heavy and dirty Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 4/25

Nothing wrong with the Leica M8, just added a M42 to Leica M adapter and the Flektogon on top. The interesting thing about this combo is that the large and unframed viefinder of the Leica nearly matches the field of view, of the Flektogon. The annoying thing is that the viewfinder is half-masked by the huge lens. The lens is dusty and infected with fungus, tried several time to dismantel the lens for a good clean, but didn't succeed, the front is loose, but I can't screw it entirely out of the body of the lens.
