Pyrogallol Posted October 22, 2022 Share #162  Posted October 22, 2022 New to me. Two conversions, a 111 and a 111c both converted to 111f black dial. If Leitz restarted serial numbering after the war at 400,000 then the 111c was only the 45th camera made. Does anyone have a lower 400*** number ? Welcome, dear visitor!

Sent Leitz an e mail over the weekend asking for any information about these cameras and got a reply Monday morning with the original delivery dates and the dates of the upgrades. Very quick.

MarkP Posted November 6, 2022 Share #165  Posted November 6, 2022 Back after 11 months with Camera Obscura Repairs (another story covered elsewhere 😡, but beautifully repaired and restored). 1952 Red Scale IIIf and 1951 Summitar (coated, 10 blade) , and barn door hood for fun :-). So much fun to use. Nothing beats framing with that SBOOI.

IT is indeed, but utilitarian. Very weird and gets very weird looks on the street. Ith as an horizontal slot along the full length of the top to give good visibility through the framing window. I've tried the IROOA from my 2.0/5cm Summicron but there's to much finder blockage unless using the SBOOI. However, the IROOA lstill looks too modern on the IIIf. This is an excellent review on lens shade options for the Summitar. My hood is the version II SOOPD. https://johnnymartyr.wordpress.com/2021/02/22/lens-hoods-for-the-leica-summitar/  I'll post pics later with the Red-scale Elmar and the fabulous FISON/VOOLA Edited November 6, 2022 by MarkP 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamj Posted November 25, 2022 Share #174  Posted November 25, 2022 This is my Leica IIIF black dial from the 1951/52 batch. It's fitted with a coated Summitar with 10 aperture blades from 1949 and a VIOOH finder. It works without a hitch, film loading is not quite standard but once you know what to do it works every time. I bought it for two reasons apart from the obvious that they are beautiful and tiny, much tinier than you think seeing pictures. Everyone thinks it is new. I kid you not. First, I wanted to see just how easy or difficult it was for people like Bresson and Eisenstadt to take pictures. Actually, it grows on you and because you have to pay attention it becomes immersive. Second, due to their much lower price, it was a way to check whether the dealer provided quality products before outlaying for an M, the dealer has a brick and mortar shop but I was purchasing online. One more observation, if you shoot 400TX or HP5+ then all the comments about Summitars giving soft edges turn out to be irrelevant. Welcome, dear visitor!

pegelli Posted January 6, 2023 Share #177  Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) I should say "I loved my Barnack". For my 15th birthday (1971) my father gave me his IIIf and an Elmar 50/3.5. He probably figured it was about time I learned "real" photography. Around 1973 I added an Elmar 90/4, which completed my system until 1978 when the IIIf body was exchanged for an M2. I would have loved to keep the IIIf but as a poor student I needed the 300 DM the shop offered for it when buying a used M2 for 600 DM (the cheapest he had, no self timer and some dents/marks on the top/bottom plate but mechanically in excellent condition). The M2 and two LTM lenses (equiped with genuine Leica LTM to M adapters) are still used by me today. I found some proof of me with my IIIf while scanning some old negatives, this was never printed when I took the photo ~1974. It's a selfie in the mirror above the wash basin in my room and mirrored so it shows the right way around. It was probably never printed because of severe motion blur but pulling the scan through Topaz Sharpen AI turned it into something half presentable, which I will do here Welcome, dear visitor!

IIIf + Elmar 90/4, I guess f4 and a shutter time way too long for handholding a 90 mm lens.

Panfoto Posted January 7, 2023 Share #178  Posted January 7, 2023 Thanks a lot for your beautiful story – pegelli – and lucky man! I got a Braun Paxette in 1977 from my father. A Leica M2 (with Elmar 2,8 50mm from 1964) later, for the work for Newspapers. Workhorse for that Time, for me, was the Canon ftb / F1. Here is a photo from my DUKA creative phase 😉 in the 70s with the Braun Paxette. Welcome, dear visitor!
