Black Leica Screw Mount Camera

[Takizawa1]

I'd like to buy an excellent condition, original paint, black leica screw mount camera. Does anyone know where to find one. I already have 5 or so screw mount lenses.. so don't need a lens with it. I like brassing, as long as it looks tasteful. I am open to ideas. Thanks!!

leicashop in Vienna. Look for them online.

Or try e-Bay. Or Peter Loy in the UK, Tamarkin in the USA. All have online sales.
Careful what you ask for, phrasing 'excellent condition, original paint' will not get you a bargain, but definitely get you top dollar offers😉

Thanks. I didn't know about Peter Loy.

Yes, I know that excellent condition can be a bit to extremely expensive!

Looks-wise I like this camera... but not the serial code etched in the base plate.

That's a late IIf - with a faster shutter speed than the rest of the two series.

I'm pretty happy with my much older Leica II - which is much more common than the above black painted IIf.

Good luck in your quest.

Thanks. Yes. I would be happy with an older Leica II as well. How did you find yours?

Red Dot cameras in London normally have a selection, mostly sold without lenses

The one you have picked out from Leicashop is a conversion, IIa syn. Not so common and therefore more expensive.

Wait here and buy from a frequently posting photographer advertising in the RFF Classifieds.

I have been waiting for a similar Barnack here and have missed a couple being too slow on the trigger...

I bought mine from my camera repair person. Youxin Ye

It's a bit cosmetically challenged, i.e. someone repainted it at one time - but it works flawlessly.

Looks beautiful. I often go with Youxin when I need a solid CLA. I didn't know that he sells cameras as well.
