Circa 1951, this beautiful Leica IIIf (black dial) is in excellent condition. It is the first Leica camera with the built in flash synchronisation.
All functions are precise. Rangefinder and viewfinder are beautifully clean and bright. Vulcanite is 100% intact.
The 50mm f2 Summitar is well known for its signature look, sharp with soft eye pleasing contrast. This particular version is scaled in feet and the lens comes with the original barn doors style lens hood.
This screw-mount classic combines precision German engineering with timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship.
It is a beautiful part of the history of photography in general, and of Leica in particular, to own, enjoy, and use to create personal and timeless photographs.
