Golgo Posted December 18, 2011 Share #1 Posted December 18, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello guys, I have a Lica camera and I'm guessing that it is the Leica IIIc model, but as I checked some pictures on the internet I saw some details that either proved my guess right but sometimes also wrong. Now I found this page and thought you guys might probably know best what Lica camera I have and might even also know how much that little beauty is worth now a days. The camera, or well at least the shutter sound like he works just fine and I have the impression that everything is in a pretty good shape. Here are some pics, If you need more or from an different angle just let me know cause after I checked like 925725092 pictures already I'm really curious to know what I got here : ) Thank you in advance for helping me out, Golgo Back http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/3316/img0420pv.jpg Left back http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/7181/img0419oa.jpg Right front http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/6471/img0418gbq.jpg Left front http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/7962/img0417ew.jpg Top http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/1755/img0416tl.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golgo Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted December 18, 2011 Thank you both, that was really fast, should have asked before spendig hours of comparing pictures =D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_bergquist Posted December 18, 2011 Share #6 Posted December 18, 2011 Thank you both, that was really fast, should have asked before spendig hours of comparing pictures =D Nothing wrong with that. You have learned more by that work than you would have by just getting a quick answer here. The IIIc is a classic, one of the very best of the screw-thread mount Leicas, and well worth using if you are interested and if everything works the way it should. If not, a simple CLA (clean, lubricate, adjust) job will probably be enough. Working the camera's mechanics regularly is good for the camera's health, by the way.

someonenameddavid Posted December 19, 2011 Share #7 Posted December 19, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you both, that was really fast, should have asked before spendig hours of comparing pictures =D Don't forget: the lens is collapsible and needs to be pulled forward and rotated to lock before use!!!!!!!
