Geoff Marshall Posted November 27, 2022 Share #1 Posted November 27, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Some days I just can’t help myself, went to a camera fair today to hopefully purchase some M42 mount Takumar lenses and walked back out with a black paint Leica III in my hand. I honestly tried to resist but all that black paint with brassing and nickel hardware was too much of a temptation. Need to explain to my good lady now how come there’s another camera in the collection. ( it is nice though ) 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have so many black and nickel LTM cameras at this stage, I really don't know the actual number, but it could be more than 20. So I'm fooling myself as well as herself 😇. Some examples below. The first one on the left has 'serious brassing' ie. no black paint left at all. Welcome, dear visitor!

I have another black one due to arrive next week and a chrome one arrived last week. William 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
