di Giuseppe Ciccarella Nell’anno 2011, ricorrono i venti anni esatti dalla acquisizione della mia prima Leitz Camera. Il mio caro Padre, invece, già dall’immediato dopo guerra, aveva utilizzato con soddisfazione una Leica IIIc “tendina rossa” con 50mm Leitz Summitar.

A few weeks ago, whilst cleaning up my attic, I found a box with all sorts of watch stuff. Inside were also two discs that I received in December 2007.
