The early developments in 35 are often overlooked or forgotten, perhaps this list can encourage appreciation of the history of 35. The more famous 35's included in the Early 35's viewfinder are Leica, Zeiss Contax, Exakta, Argus, Ansco Memo, and Kodak Retina. Thanks to Leica's replica reproduction of the Leica O series, it is the only early 35 which can substantially be bought new as this is written, although it is somewhat pricey.
Spirited discussion is strongly encouraged, but be nice to each other.
Please stay on topic with Leica products and photography related posts. Save discussion for such topics as hats, underwear, war crimes, religion, etc for your private email, instead of uselessly cluttering the inboxes of Early35s List members who subscribed for ON topic discussions. Please limit your postings to no more than five per day . Please save smart-ass replies for private email, or the stage if you really are a comedian. Dealer for sale or buying posts of any kind of ads are not allowed, a standard which I will also follow.
