jpattison Posted November 6, 2011 Share #1 Posted November 6, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I notice in the learned Wiki here, that someone has stated in the IIIG entry that a few were made with bayonet mount. Can anyone shed further info about this? JC, have you got one? I take the entries in the other Wikipedia with a pinch of salt, I just thought here might be more accurate, but this one doesn't look right! Thanks, John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted November 7, 2011 Share #2 Posted November 7, 2011 I have an Italian magazine (Classic Camera) in which a IIIG with bayonet mount is displayed in the cover: it's a bit late, now, and it would take some time to find it, but tomorrow I can find and post a scan of it.

DDM Posted November 8, 2011 Share #7 Posted November 8, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Leitz mounted 2 Prototyps of the IIIG with bayonet. Both cameras with built-in framecounter. One camera was a very long time part of our collection... The second camera, was handed over by my father to the Leitz-Museum. He bought the tow cameras in the early seventies from Leitz. Dr. Wangorsch, the head of the Leitz-Museum, vendet the Museums-IIIG to a collection in USA. That`s all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
