lars_bergquist Posted April 11, 2010 Share #2 Posted April 11, 2010 This is a very well used Leica III (known as Model F in the US). It was made from 1933 to 1939. The serial no. suggests manufacture in 1934. The lens is likely a 5cm Elmar (collapsed). The lens too has a serial number, but if the lens has accompanied the camera for all those years, it was probably made at the same time.

thrid Posted April 14, 2010 Share #3 Posted April 14, 2010 That's a nice looking camera.... I bet it could tell some stories. If I remember correctly the black lens caps are quite rare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
