lagrassa Posted July 7, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 7, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello: I have a Leica IIIc S/N 501350 and it has the fastest shutter speed of 1/1000 sec and a "red" 1/30 sec mark on the front dial. My question is, are these features original to the camera (1950 vintage) or was it "upgraded" at some point in its history? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lagrassa Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted July 7, 2009 Thanks, that is nice to know as 1950 is my birth year. Mine looks just like yours, except that the "30" on the front dail is red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. No Posted July 7, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 7, 2009 just checked the camera and the manual. mine is red too, and also the 30-1 on the fast shuttter dial is red. it just indicates, that you have to turn both dials. OLAF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
