loved the photos of your camera AND the movie was great (is that a Leica IIIf?)!

Your B&H Filmo camera looks really nice and as I said I loved the look of the film. What type of film did you use and what version of the Filmo is that? DE?

Also thanks for the link to how to perform the camera lubrication.
