Just realized this is not a IIIc. Likely a IIIa from what I can see. It's beautiful, much like my favorite barnack in my cupboard...a IIIa of 1936. The redscale elmar is an excellent lens too. This is a true photo making combo.

LongShooter Posted May 29, 2022 Share #1282  Posted May 29, 2022 Yes, it is a iiia as noted in the caption but not the text. Clearly, I may be due for a CLA. Fortunately, the camera does not! Thanks for the note. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other option is a wrist strap and connector to the tripod bush, but just for security - not for 'hygiene'. What colour is that case? I mean what colour does Luigi call that? That is Natural Aged Brown. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlridings Posted October 30, 2024 Share #1293  Posted October 30, 2024 I usually carry a III of some kind or another (IIIc, IIIf, IIIg) around with me. The IIIc and an Elmar make for a reliable companion. It can be a chore for an old man to keep with with a youngster though ...  Welcome, dear visitor!

AlexMogens Posted November 8, 2024 Share #1296  Posted November 8, 2024 Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! They all look somewhat the same, but I'm happy to be counted among the screw mounters, Barnack-heads, Barnack-o-philes, or whatever ;). I bought my IIIc with Elmar last year from the classifieds at photrio. I've since purchased a Canon 35mm 2.0 to go with it. I'm tempted to get the collapsible Elmar 35 though, just because I love how compact it is with the Elmar. When I bought it, I'd mainly been using a Retina 1b as a carry-around camera. And I love the 1b, it takes excellent pictures. But I thought it would be nice to have interchangeable lenses, a rangefinder, and better ergonomics. I wasn't wrong. Using the 1b for a couple years made me very comfortable with hyperfocal focusing, so it was a useful exercise for developing the confidence to really lean into it. I tend to shoot the Leica hyper focally and only use the rangefinder when I feel like being a little slower and more precise. Another thing I like about the Elmar is using the infinity stop as a reference point. It's very intuitive. As a 35mm kind of person who wears glasses I've thought about getting a M2, but I'm not in a rush. Maybe I'll find a good deal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
