Guest flatfour Posted May 17, 2009 Share #88 Posted May 17, 2009 They have value depending their shape and age. Attached are five of the several publications I have which are all virtually as new. Are they worth anything ? I can put the others on line if you wish. Welcome, dear visitor!

luigi bertolotti Posted May 18, 2009 Share #91 Posted May 18, 2009 I collect them also this one is for Luigi, it is a december 1934 publication, 32 page. Thanks for the dedication, JC... a nice old brochure: btw, in about those years my grandfather had a Leica which, accordingly to my cousin who inherited it (and then sold... ) was "black with a chrome lens" (being not an expert, he doesn't know this is normal)... I have some pics of my mother that are probably taken with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeicaTom Posted March 29, 2010 Share #93 Posted March 29, 2010 I thought I'd revive this thread a little, no one's posted here for a long time...... Here's one of the cameras I bought after I sold my 1942 Kriegsmarine IIIC ~ it's a IIIC K Grey, a 1945 US Army issue, #3905xx K issued to a US Army Japanese American First Lieutenant, who gave it to his future wife, who was a Danish national, (German Speaking) interpreter for Military Intelligence in Frankfurt, Germany in 1945. The camera is beautiful, with 99% paint, (the BEST paint IIIC K I've ever owned) but sadly it has had a vulcanite shell swap, (correct vulcanite, but from a updated Leica IIIC conversion *see chrome bumper*) ~ I have a 1946 Grey vulcanite shell I have to swap out, but I have to mix the Luftwaffe RLM 75 paint to restore it first.....the Elmar lens is the original lens to body, and the Yellow #1 filter and the OKARO added for the "eye candy". Enjoy! Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnold kaufman Posted April 4, 2010 Share #96 Posted April 4, 2010 Did anyone know the year of my elmar with number 135236? Is it 1930 or 1931? I believe the year of your lens is 1932.Check out http:/kenrockwell.com/leica/lens-serial-numbers.htm I am assuming the info is correct.

mkuyntjes Posted April 4, 2010 Share #97 Posted April 4, 2010 We have a IIIA from 1936 with a lens from 1934 an done from 1938. The third lens however doesn't have a serial number. Any ideas on that? Normally I take pictures with a modern Nikon so I'm new to this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandro Posted April 5, 2010 Share #98 Posted April 5, 2010 A few years ago I found this Summilux 1.4/35 mm "1913-1983". Somewhere I read there were only 150 made, intended for the Italian market. I bought it in Milano. It goes well with the M4-P "1913-1983" with its winder M4-2. I also have the Summilux 1.4/50 mm "1913-1983". Lex Welcome, dear visitor!

Roberto Watson Posted April 8, 2010 Share #100 Posted April 8, 2010 Yet another one of my recent acquisitions is this very rare 1942 Leica IIIC "Kriegsmarine" camera (complete with some "wartime" patina) it is one of the very few Marinekriegsberichter or Kriegsmarine PK cameras to even survive WW2. *Contax received and filled out most of the Kriegsmarine camera orders during WW2 but, Leitz also filled out some very limited orders, using their fast 50mm lens the Xenon, and this camera is one of those very few issues* Tom Beautiful great piece, I have a Summitar 50/1.5 that I beliebe is a design very like a Schnaider Xenon, but signed by Taylor, Taylor and Hubson, is a nice lens that I like for athmosphers otherwise impossible.
