Re: [Cz-L] My big brother and me.

Photography in 1944 -5 in Czernowitz.
 Leica film (35 mm) was missing so all the new cameras were of no use.
 How did photography continue ?
  Stolen from the Soviet Air Force reconnaisance were folio sized black and
  white negative sheets from US war assistance.
   These were cut to fit old Agfa plate cameras and loaded into the
   cassettes behind glass plates.

   For economic use blanking off templates were used so that you
   could take 8 or more shots with one cassette.
    Playing with the obstructing template.
     My picture is one of them.
