Here's a few from Grays Harbor County, Washington. Leica IIIc with Tri-X developed in Rodinal 1:50. The lens is a 15mm Voigtlander Heliar that I've had for a few months but haven't used yet. This pulp mill in Cosmopolis was a great opportunity, it would have hard to get this shot without such a wide lens. Interesting thing about this pulp mill, they supplied pulp for Kodak. they got dropped by kodak for quality problems.

Nice shots, Bryan! The Voigtländer lenses are really good.
Two shots from a walk around Stavanger's back alleys.

I wonder if the Fed 1G has a similar rangefinder magnification as the Leica III ?

I do not have a Leica III so I cannot compare. The magnification on the FED-1G is the same as my Zorki 1B and 1D. I would say that the rangefinder window on these cover approx. 1/4 of the viewfinder window.

That's pretty much the same as on the Leica. I don't have one either but I did look through a IIIf at my local camera shop.
Lets just say that the guy who owned it was pretty nervous about having a stranger handle it...

Yesterday, curiosity got the best of me, so I went out with the W.A.C.K. (A.K.A Weird Arse Canon Kamera) for a first roll.
For those who haven't seen the recently acquired thread, it's a Canon EX Auto, which was a 1 year production run with a really weird lens mount and even weirder ergonomics. So this is going to be a bit of a review at the same time.
The camera definitely needs some getting used to. On the plus side, it is all mechanical. So, if it were to get a proper CLA, it would be pretty much OK on all speeds. But considering that the grease in this thing is older than I am, lets not expect too much.
The aperture around the rewind crank, while needing a lot of getting used to, is strangely not that horrible. But changing the lenses is definitely a real pain in the wazoo! And since they all share the same focusing mount, mounting the telephoto on it seriously affects the focus smoothness and the balance of the whole camera. With all that weight acting as a lever on the mount (and the telephoto IS heavy), it makes hand holding a bit of a chore.
The lenses are quite surprising as they don't appear to have strong correction and a strong coating. Most of the pictures here were taken with the 125mm.
In order, the pictures shown were taken with the 125mm, 35mm, 125mm, 50mm.
Film was Fomapan 100 developed in Rodinal 1:50.
