Leica IIIc, 5cm f3.5 Elmar 415655

Details

This Leica IIIc (Silver), #415655, is in great condition with minor handling wear. I rate it cosmetically a (9). The camera is in proper working order; film advances properly, the viewfinder is clear, the shutter is accurate at all speeds, and the rangefinder is bright & accurate. The included Leica 5cm f3.5 Elmar lens, #633632, is in similar condition, also rated a (9). The lens extends and retracts and the focus ring is smooth, but the aperture tab is a bit stiff. The aperture functions properly, and the glass is clean and clear with no haze, marks, or fungus. There are a few faint specks of dust inside, but they do not affect image quality. The body and lens were serviced by DAG in 2024. It includes a front lens cap and a leather Leica ever-ready case with a strap. Please refer to the photos for details.
