Just bought this at a thrift store for $275USD seems to work perfect but I don't know all about Leica so this is my first one.
heavy and solid On the top marked Leica DBP (no dots like D.B.P.) Ernst Leitz GMBH wetzlar Germany Nr 877 051 back has a dial says /10 din ASA 2 hole viewfinder one smaller one larger lens is marked Leitz Elmar f=5cm 1:3.5 lens collapses into body of camera(I don't think it is removable if it is I don't know how) what model is it ,how old is it and did I pay too much? or not enough? thanks ![]() |

I think all of the IIIg had DBP just like that. The lens is removable (screw mount) so any SM lens can be used with your camera. Both Elmar and Summarit are common lenses.
But you still have a great camera bought at a great price. ![]()

You got a great deal. Spending a little money to get the cleaned/lubed/adjusted (CLA) would be well worthwhile. If you ever wanted to try a Leica, this is your chance. I've got three on my way back from CLA's now. Two of them are about 20 years older than yours.
