Too true! They were built to last. 🙂
Nice post sir, i've agree with the state 🙂 My friend has "Smena 8M" made around '65 by SSSR i think. Probably still works we just have to find film for it 🙂
Thank you squire! This camera dates from around 1934 and was made in England. Long before I was ever thought of! +Martin Matejic
wow indeed impressive! It's even older then my great grandma! 🙂 Indeed a great peace of history.
Your great grandma? You must be a baby! I thought you had to be at least 15 to have a G+ account? It's the same age as my parents. 🙂 +Martin Matejic
Bahaha i get that often sir 🙂 i'm actually 19 and yeah my elders kinda found their soul mates very early in life so i'm having 2 grandmas in family 🙂 The older one was born in 1936 🙂
Can you/do you still use it +Steven Kennard? It looks to be in great condition and is of a similar vintage to my dad's Leica, which really isn't usable any more. boohoo
This camera is still in picure taking condition +Janet Patterson Everything works and there are no holes in the bellows.
You might be able to get your beautiful old Leica working again you know. There are still people about that could make the repairs. It would be great to pass some film through it again!
Interesting, +Martin Matejic 19 is a great age, youth is something to be treasured my friend!
So tell me, how did you get to speak English so very well coming from where you do, is it you mother tounge?
+Steven Kennard Sorry for the (very) late replay sir, i've been having some internet problems lately so i'm not active on G+ as i would like to be. Well no, English is not my mother language, our mother lang. is Serbian but English it's required now from the very start of elementary schooling in our country. At the 5th grade of Elementary school second foreign language is required (French, Spanish, Russian etc.) and so on through high school. As for my knowledge of English language it's fair to say that though i was always good at it in school, foreign music and hollywood films and TV shows also helped a lot :)) So that would be it more or less 🙂 Hope i gave u a decent answer sir Steven, cheers!
Very decent answer indeed Sir Martin All I can say is that your English is impecable and you deserve commendation on your mastery of it. I think learning from a very young age is the key to getting a good handle on it. I moved to France when I was 34 and struggled for quite a while with the language before I was able to communicate well. Now once again in an English speaking community I don't get much of a chance to practice my French.
Good day to you my friend +Martin Matejic and I hope you manage to get a better internet connection soon.
