The Leica IIIg, GOOEF, introduced in 1957, at the serial number 825001, 3 year after the M3 issue, was to prove the last of the screw models with the Ig, and terminated in 1960 with number 988350.

More improvements added comparing to the last screw predecessors.

The viewfinder has a suspended frame finder which couples with the range finder providing automatic parallax adjustment.

Four small triangles denote the field of view for the 90mm lens.

Slow shutter speed T , to 1/30 on front dial and 1/60 to 1/1000 on top.

Delayed action release equipped and flash syncro automatic.

Hi JC,

 

I will say it again: I really appreciate your "A little.." contributions!

 

This is another fantastic picture. The IIIg is my favourite Leica (at the moment...:)) and I am impressed that you have both the rigid Summicron and the Summilux in screw mount versions.

 

Regards,

Leica Store San Francisco has a screwmount Summilux for sale today (Sep 22, 2023) for four thousand dollars. "Minor haze." Prices have certainly attained lofty heights!

Coincidentally I noted this one only today, link will not last forever apologies, £2,200 UK  serial 3881956  Leica Summilux 50mm f1.4 L-39 (reddotcameras.co.uk) 

The same dealer has a 35mm Summicron ASPH LTM serial 3867933 for £2,800

Leica Summicron 35mm f2 ASPH L-39 & Case (reddotcameras.co.uk)

A nice round 5K for the set, wonder if that was intentional?

Those two lenses are part of the relatively recent LTM series of lenses (2/35asph, 2/50 and 1.4/50) Leica had originally produced for the Japanese market.

This will likely be one of the original screw mount Summiluxes from the late fifties/early sixties, hence the higher price.
