We held our monthly meeting for December on Wednesday the 17th. I managed to hang in for about an hour before my eye issue intervened. I saw\/heard the AGM speech by our president and the first of the series of show and tell episodes. First up was Lilianne with her c1956 Lordomat.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/mikeeckman.com\/2015\/11\/leidolf-lordomat-1953\/\">Lordomat<\/a> was designed and manufactured by Leidolf, a precision engineering firm, in Wetzlar where Leicas were first made. Oddly enough, Leidolf was bought by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wild_Heerbrugg#:~:text=The%20Wild%20(Heerbrugg)%20company%20(,instruments%20for%20photogrammetry%20among%20others.\">Wild-Heerbrugg<\/a> in Switzerland. who later merged with Leitz to become Wild-Leitz (their Canadian branch in Toronto repaired my Leica shutter mechanism). Both Lordomat and Leica are from Wetzlar &#8211; small world!<\/p>\n<p>Lilianne showed her Lordomat and a short video on the well engineered and manufactured little camera. The screen shot shown here doesn&#8217;t do justice to the camera &#8211; bad timing on my part caused the poor image.<\/p>\n<p>You may spot a Lordomat at one of our events. The PHSC 2026 Events will be posted initially in the right sidebar and as the date of each event looms closer, as a post on this site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto.
