Leica IIIg

Had to get one, what with this renewed obsession with screw mount and 1950s rangefinders.

I like it, maybe not as much as the IIIf - it's different though.

 

Here are a couple of photos from my first blog about it (one of it; one by it) - check the blog here to read and see more:

So what's that? A IIIc, 2 IIIf's and a IIIg? That's great. Nice lenses too. I stopped at one IIIf (so far), but also have a IIIc and a IIIg. They are very nice cameras to use. Like you I think I like the IIIf best of the three.

Someone's going Barnack crazy! :)

You can't praise or blame Barnack for the IIIG. I had one from new, and found that the rangefinder went out of adjustment too often, so after a couple of years traded it for a Leicaflex (standard). That turned out to have an unreliable shutter in cold weather at first, but very reliable after a warranty repair.

I hope your IIIG proves OK.

John.
