At the risk of asking something that may be obvious to the more senior members here, what is a "Jumbo Leica"?

Also known as a 'Texas' Leica. But since the small format Leica has a 3:2 aspect ratio, any medium format rangefinder would also need that aspect ratio to be a scaled up version I would say. So a 6x7 format rangefinder would be a jumbo rangefinder but not a jumbo Leica, IMHO.

Nice work, Bernard! And on your site as well.

Jumbo Leica = Texas Leica = Fuji GW690 or GSW690..

Applying "Texas" to this slang moniker has specific language and meaning implications thus, "Jumbo"..
