I rekindled my interest in photography at the beginning of 2005, which fueled the acquisition of Ukrainian FEDs and Russian Zorkis. Curious as to what made them tick, led to acquiring the venerable Leica II below. I just love how this camera handles!

Click here for pics taken by the Leica II using other LTM lenses + Leica II restoration and beam splitter mirror replacement.
This Chiyoko Super Rokkor 45/2.8 lens came from the ca. '48 Minolta 35 camera below sporting a non-standard 24 x 32 frame.
Unfortunately the Minolta 35 is missing too many parts and couldn't be restored.😞 So I've been using the Chiyoko Super Rokkor lens with the Leica II + other cameras, including digital bodies.
