I have always been told never to buy a flash socketed Leica III or IIIA because they weren't factory fitted and mucked up the innards of the camera. Why was this the case ? Some of these syncs are in front ,level with the center of the lens, some are by the viewfinder eyepiece and I have seen one on top near the shutter release. What's the truth about non standard synchronisation on IIIs?
