I have owned my Leica II for nearly 30 years. During my first journey to Croatia during the Civil War in former Yugoslavia, my Austrian aunt gave me the camera as a gift. Her husband bought it in 1932. But after his death the Leica had lain idle in a cupboard for several years until she gave it to me. I have used this camera a couple of times but I never really worked with it, I just enjoyed its mechanics.
