What is the function of the thread on the left hand side of the lens? Is that a shutter release for an Alpa camera?

sure is - shutter release is at the front of the camera on this model of Alpa

Just developed a roll of FP4 in this Leica 111. I bought the 28mm Summaron a few weeks ago but had not used it until today.

After almost 30 years, decided to pickup a camera and start shooting. Fortunately, one of my childhood friends sold me this Leica IIIg with a Voigtlander Heliar 50mm f/3.5 101 edition lens. Still need to process my first roll, but with me having to reorientate myself to each step, everything is taking longer! Also, suffering that keen affliction of older men: exhaustive online research

😕

Thanks for allowing me to share--have a Merry Christmas 🎄!!!

Welcome here @JeongYeobKim

My old dream black paint IIIg 😉.

I have two IIIg, I wanted to let one person paint one but never done that.

Maybe I will do it one day, I fear loosing the nice original vulcanite, which is the case in your black IIIg, nice job, but

for me the 'vulcanite' replacement here is not quite right (this is not to upset you, of course).

Oh, that's interesting. I do know that the prior owner sent the camera away for a repaint, but didn't know that the vulcanite was also redone. Just Googling around for vulcanite info and rather impressed that there are several sites and forum discussions on this topic. Reminds me of the interest around collectible cars and debates over the extent of restoring classic models--make it as new as possible or preserve it as is. Hopefully, when the time comes, I'll get the chance to restore the vulcanite to its more pebble-like surface of the original. (I think it looks better through the contrast of textures!)

I know that the vulcanite on my IIIg will eventually crack, but I refuse to let it sit unused to protect it. When it inevitably does I'll remove it and use one of the nice reskinning kits and never worry about it again!

Wow, reskinning kits, didn't know! This hobby has so many avenues to explore, I'm still around the loading film stage.

Sweet setup. Will the accessory finder allow you to lift the shutter dial and change speed?

In those days the VIOOH with a TUVOO 

or a 

SUOOQ

were in use with the few 2.8cm Hektor and Summaron.

The „normal“ lens of all mobile phones in our millennium was a „super-wide“ back then.

These two SUCHER (in German, we‘re more cautious: we search, rather than FIND)

left enough space for operating the exposure time wheel on the LTM Leicas.
