Great photos!

I just picked up a mint copy of a IIIA with 50mm lens for $150 off of ebay. I've been wanting one for a while, but most I've seen were not in the best condition or had huge shipping fees.

Can you tell me where you found the rectangular lens hoods?

Thank you !

I bought another KIIIA with 50/1.8 lens myself, last year, from a seller who said he had made a CLA on the camera. He has the best feedback. But when the camera arrived, the rangefinder was completely out of focus. I have tried to fix it, like I already did on the 48/2 version before, but it never worked out. I have never been able to use the camera, and lost something like $150, some film rolls and my time.

I found the hood on eBay too.

I wish you the best experience with the camera.
