Hello

Is there any value in a leica 111f black dial which has been fitted with a delayed action lever by leica?

thanks

I guess it would be slightly (25-50 US$) more than the regular (i.e. without selftimer) IIIf in a similar condition.

There's usually value in anything Leica, and a IIIF Black Dial with delayed action is currently for sale here at £295.00:

Obviously much depends on the condition of your camera, but (hopefully) this gives you some idea of value in the UK market.

Got one of those myself. Oddly enough, the serial number on it is for a IIIc camera. I was told by the seller (Marvin Moss) that the camera was a factory replacement, which explained the serial number.

Herewith a IIIc converted to IIIf BD ST, something of an oddity which probably does not command a price premium. Now, if it had been a 'stepper' things might have been different.

Did that image appear?

or alternatively, can someone tell me how to attach an image stored in user cp attachements?

I have a IIIc converted to a IIIf BD ST (chrome). About the same time I bought a IIIc stepper, converted to a IIIf BD (but no self-timer). Wish the two were combined!

Here's mine (IIc-IIIf BD ST conversion) - right now it's getting a shutter curtain replacement, but it's a sweetie! Plus, it has a 'rare' (supposedly!) horizontal sharkskin pattern.
