Ambro51 Posted December 19, 2021 Share #101 Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) A shot from my working UR Leica #80, converted by Mr. Kim in Seoul. For a camera built by Leitz designed Not to work.....looks like we turned the table. 🙂 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! There Really is a different feeling using this camera. Your head kind of gets “into it”, you realize the seeming crudeness but the results show the level of precision the original design had. It’s too bad more Leica fans cannot experience photography like Barnack, with this camera in hand. I had lost the counter disc and finally found a pretty good replacement, off a broken TDC Colorist Stereo Camera. BTW the finder looks a bit odd but.... once you actually USE it, you realize just how perfect it is!

Ouroboros Posted January 8, 2022 Share #103 Posted January 8, 2022 In the early 70's I was a student (graphic arts and photography). At lunchtimes, I would often walk to the city centre to look in Frank Jessop's and Cecil Jocobs chemists shop windows at the range of used Rollei tlr's, Leicas, Contaxes and MPP cameras on display. I really liked the look of the Leica iiic and iiif and made a promise to myself that one day I'd buy one. Fast forward 50 years with a career as a self employed photographer behind me, I've finally bought a iiif! My iiif RD ST with a 50mm elmar red scale and Fison arrived a couple of days ago. From the serial number, the camera is the same vintage as myself (1954). It is a joy to use and the first roll of film will be processed today. Welcome, dear visitor!

JeongYeobKim Posted January 8, 2022 Share #104 Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Beautiful camera and lens--please post some pics. I just returned to photography after 30+ years and having a great time with it. This past Friday, I shot a picture of a crowd dining with my IIIg and I could tell people were like, "What the hell is that thing?" Thanks for posting and sharing.

romualdo Posted January 21, 2022 Share #112 Posted January 21, 2022 My latest acquisition - an early Leica III with nickel Elmar both from 1933 (first year of the III) - Camera probably came from the second batch in 1933, based on serial # It looks to be in beautiful/good working condition. Came from one of Australia's largest Leica collections/collectors. Checked the speeds with photoplug (iPhone/App & sensor) and they're very close (especially slow speeds) & some reasonably close Can't wait to put some film through As far as I can see the only thing not original (cept for one screw) is the spool which is a Canon brand Welcome, dear visitor!

Pintpot Posted May 1, 2022 Share #119 Posted May 1, 2022 My first owned Leica (in my youth I just borrowed one from the second hand stock of the photo retailer I worked for) was a somewhat battered 111a - bought over 30 years ago. That got traded in for an M8 etc. etc. you will all know the story of upgrading. Trawling through Ebay the other day I found this 1935 111 and could not resist it as it was very reasonably priced. The Tewe finder & the Jupiter 8 lens were in my curio cabinet, I now need to find a decent lens to replace the Jupiter 8. At some point the camera has had a flash socket fitted on the back between the rangefinder and viewfinder and a very faded sticker from Wallace Heaton on the back - a bit of history there! The second photo taken today, a test roll - processed in very old chemicals, need to buy fresh ones now as I'd not developed a 35mm roll of film in years. Just compared it to my Dlux 7 and there's not a lot of difference in size & weight, what goes around comes around. Welcome, dear visitor!
