philipus Posted February 25, 2019 Share #1121 Posted February 25, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) It's been a while since my Leica II (1931, conversion) appeared, here with the 1950 Summitar. Given the astonishing selection of Barnacks on display in this virtual showcase, perhaps this thread could be considered to be made a sticky? Welcome, dear visitor!

TomB_tx Posted February 25, 2019 Share #1124 Posted February 25, 2019 Here's my 1929 - upgraded to model II likely in 1932. My Nickel 11 o'clock Elmar (no serial) is out for haze removal, so I put on my other Nickel 3.5 50. The Voigtlander Heliar looks at home, even though modern. (I am rather amazed at the good performance of this lens - even on the M10.) Welcome, dear visitor!

Xícara de Café Posted April 23, 2019 Share #1128 Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) My first Leica arrived in the post recently and I couldn't be happier. It's a IIIf RD ST from 1954 with a collapsible Summicron 5cm f/2 from 1956. Arrived together with what looks like the original box, the manual in English, IROOA lens hood, E. Leitz N.Y. skylight filter, body and rear-lens caps and a metal strap. Everything in near mint condition, clean, free of dust and with all the shutter speeds sounding well calibrated. Shutter curtains look new. I was fully expecting to have to send it off for a service before seeing it but I'm very optimistic that that won't be necessary. I'll run some film through it as soon as possible to test. I didn't get a good view of the strap in this mobile phone photo, but does this look like it's a Leica strap to anyone? There's nothing to indicate that it is but I'm curious. All the best! Welcome, dear visitor!

earleygallery Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share #1129 Posted April 23, 2019 I don't think that would be a Leica strap, the period straps I've ever seen have been brown leather, like the cases. Nice example. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted April 23, 2019 Share #1130 Posted April 23, 2019 It looks like you have a silver metal 'snake' strap slithering out of the box, which is a strap of the time and earlier. The strap on the camera looks like it could be a later model webbing strap that are still supplied with new Leica cameras today but I might be mistaken since there's so little of it to be seen. Congratulations by the way! Pete. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted April 23, 2019 Share #1132 Posted April 23, 2019 Yes that's the silver metal snake strap from around the time. It looks like someone's modified the ends with the black plastic parts, which is not surprising because my original straps had steel hooks with a 'sprung' bar to prevent the hook freeing itself from the camera's lugs. The springs on mine were very poor and ineffective. Pete. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted April 23, 2019 Share #1133 Posted April 23, 2019 Minox also used those snake straps. Unless there was some amazing bit of automated machinery around in the 1950's and 60's, they must have been very labour intensive to manufacture, with lots of tiny parts.

The springs on mine were very poor and ineffective. Pete. That was no modification, just the normal factory output. I have two chains with the same ends. This was a more advanced and modern design. I have two examples pictured below. A very thick, heavy duty snake chain which was attached to a heavy camera body. The other one is the already mentioned Minox short distance measuring chain.

Xícara de Café Posted April 29, 2019 Share #1136 Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) A couple of photos back from the first full roll of film (Ilford Delta 100) taken with the IIIf RD ST shown above.
