Sometimes they had snapshots to show, and I needed a method of obtaining a quick copies for the museum's files rather than a studio setup. Today any cell phone might do the job instantly, but back then the solution was an old BOOWU. That solved the problem at the museum as well as on other research trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"margin: 1rem 0px; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;\"\u003eThe snapshots with the handwriting underneath shown on the following pages came from someone who had access to the pits during the Thompson Trophy Race at Cleveland in 1938, and got photos of one of the leading contenders in the race -- the Marcoux-Bromberg Special -- as well as its pilot Earl Ortman. The small prints of Ortman and his airplane could be quickly and easily copied with the BOOWU at the 4x6 inch A6 setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"margin: 1rem 0px; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;\"\u003eThis yellow and black aircraft was famous at the time, having placed second in the two previous years. It would have won in 1937 except for a miscue given to the pilot on the newly installed radio. And in its 1936 version it was featured in the film \"Test Pilot\" with Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy. The Marcoux placed second in 1938 and again in 1939, and ever since has been known as \"The Bridesmaid\". The New England Air Museum was able to retrieve the disassembled parts of the airplane from storage in a leaky garage in Michigan, and the restoration began on the wooden wings which were in very poor condition from water damage. This picture of the airplane in its final 1939 race version was made on roll-out after restoration with a contemporary Leica IIIa and 50mm f\/2 Summar, to be properly in keeping with its date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"margin: 1rem 0px; line-height: var(--body-font-line-height); overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;\"\u003eThe BOOWU was originally designed for screw-mount cameras (1952 to 1962 -- dates from Collectors Guide, Laney), and and several M versions followed (1956 to 1976).

Back in the day I picked the screwmount BOOWU and have seen no reason to update it. Besides all the older screw-mount cameras, it can work with any bayonet mount M camera with the simple addition of a bayonet adapter to the camera, eliminating any problems with mounting as reported by Will Wright a few years ago when he found a newer M camera with thicker front levers would not mount on an older M-type extension tube designed for the earlier M3 and M2.selling as pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emore than welcome to pick up at shop in butler pa \u0026amp; save shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cyclewarehouse.online","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44624355164322,"sku":"C leica lietz    060724","price":129.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0335\/9824\/2861\/files\/img-180312173908-0001.jpg?v=1718031476","url":"https:\/\/cyclewarehouse.online\/products\/leica-leitz-auxiliary-reproduction-device-boowu-5cm-wetzlar-din-a4-camera-stand","provider":"cyclewarehouse.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
