MirokuBosatsu Posted November 13, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 13, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Has anyone heard of a Leica DIII? It seems to only be available in Japan. I found it on the J-camera site. I'm thinking it might just be a plain Leica III. Mahalo, Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Geschlecht Posted November 13, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Hello Gregg, Welcome to the Forum. Do you have a photo? It is even better if there is more than 1 perspective. There is sometimes some degree of confusion when identifying Barnack Leicas from their Numbers or Letters alone since different systems were sometimes used in different parts of the World at various times.

Michael Geschlecht Posted November 13, 2015 Share #3 Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Hello Again Gregg, To follow up:As an example of potential confusion:There is a Model II. Sometimes identified as "D". There is also a Model IIId. Please note: One of them is a Capital "D". The other is a lower case "d". There are varieties of IIIf's that are sometimes mis-identified as IIId's. And so on. Along with asking questions here (Always a good idea.) there is a WIKI at the top of this page with some photos, serial numbers, etc. to help with research.

luigi bertolotti Posted November 13, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) From a quick sight this looks to be a Leica III, known also as "model F", from 1933 : most of them are chrome, but black items as this one are not uncommon. If never repainted (difficult to judge from the pics) it is in a very good cosmetic condition.

MirokuBosatsu Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted November 13, 2015 Thanks Luigi! Leica's naming convention can be confusing at times. Mahalo, Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
