I inherited my father-in-law's Leica III (and his Speed Graphics 3 ¼ X 4 ¼). I used both for a few years before the digital era, but my Pentax 6X7 was a lot easier to use and gave comparable results. I sold the Leica several years ago, when I first started cleaning up and consolidating. Anyone interested in the Speed Graphics?
