I bought a IIIF in a very good condition, I'm very happy to have a Leica again, in memorial of my father (Leica user) and to make again analog B&W pictures.

SN 661328 (camera)

SN 796271 Summitar F5 1:2

 

The camera SN matches 1949 or 1953, standing the site....

 

No pics yet, they will came soon

G'day.

I own a IIIf with a summarit 5cm f2.

Lovely camera

My favorite to be honest.

It's looks and feel are extraordinary and the tonal range is soft and dreamy

We are so used to digital sharpness and the need for perfection that we tend to forget how photographs can touch us, not just as art but as memories and feelings.

Something you all might like to know is the solving of holes in the cloth shutter due to wear or burning from the sun (which was my case). I searched on the net and found a few solutions. The first was to buy a new shutter leaf... too expensive. The second was to paint the surface of the holes with liquid electrical tape made by star brite. I live in Australia and could not find the product in the small city in which I live. The last, and cheapest option was to paint the surface of the cloth shutter with screen printing fabric paint. I am a printmaker and own this type of ink. It is cheap, dries very quickly and to my joy worked perfectly.

I hope this helps someone in cloth shutter land

The Leica II started to look a bit sad having to listen to all that talk about a M9. For it's comfort it got a new Hektor - and the M9 has to wait:

I have an ugly but perfectly functional IIIC and a IIIG that has sticky slower shutter speeds, waiting to be sent to LTM Nirvana for a CLA.

Gerald Mullen: I am new to the forum but have been doing Leica photography since the

60's. I currently use a IIIC with 50 elmar, for my screwmount kit.

Best wishes to all.

Here's my tarted-up IIIf RD --

 

Doesn't so much take your eye, as maybe poke it?

 

All its siblings that live here dress very conservatively; we blame this on a possibly misspent youth.

In for a penny...

If the SN were 666 666, do you think I'd be able to have afforded it?
