[Leica] What kind of camera?

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

In the late 50's I used a Yashica 44LM, which used 127 film and 
produced super slides. I still have a square 127 format mask for my 
Focomat IIc.

My dad had a couple of Robots in the late 40's and early 50's with 3 
or 4 lenses. Nice but quirky cameras, with a density that has to be 
felt to be believed. I can't think of any camera that was built more 
sturdily. I also still have the Robot format mask for the Focomat, 
and a quite a few sheets of negatives from that time.

Tom Abrahamsson picked up a Robot Royal 36 a couple of years ago. 
That one produces 24x36 negs, but is built similarly. It has a an 
interrupted thread bayonet which would be strong enough to tow a 
locomotive with.
