[Leica] PESO: Car and Driver

[jshul at comcast.net (Jim Shulman)]

Or the contents of the bottle in his had may have had something to do with
it as well <g>.

The Retina was given to me by a friend who'd like to sell it.  Naturally, I
had to take it out for a test drive--and it passed with flying colors.
While the meters in old Retina IIIc/C cameras are usually, at best, wildly
off base (if not deceased altogether) the cameras are usually quite
solid--and the optics superb.

His expression says that it looks like you've just told him he's going to be

shot!

Noticed that the clearance over the tyre is tiny, so the thing must have a 
semi rigid suspension which could be another explanation for his posture!

See that it was taken with a Retina. So that prompted me to hunt down & dig 
out an old ('58) Retinette Typ 030 from the storage cupboard. I've masses of

expired C41, so will run a roll through it tomorrow to see if it still 
works.
