The Lego Technic series was just released on the market when I was a kid. I spent a lot of time creating anything but what expected from the drawings. However nice these creatures were, there was always a limit to the physics, at some point the projects  collapsed from the complexity or sheer size. Some kids had Meccano. I didn&#8217;t. I was jealous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward to roughly 2014 when I got hooked on old stuff on eBay. I bought a Voigtl\u00e4nder Bessa RF. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.leicashop.com\/classic\/thumbnail\/d1\/a3\/41\/1610972944\/32182_14_1920x1920.jpg?resize=840%2C560&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Compur shutter didn&#8217;t work, there was oil everywhere.
