LOT 12 in this auction was "the" camera.......

#390452K
Ex Leni Riefenstahl/Theo Kisselbach 1945 Leica IIIC K "Grey" from US Army delivery, she used the camera in the 1950`s and early 60`s and it`s one of the few times that a Grey "K" model was modified to IIIF BD (I saw only one other one in Frankfurt back in 1995)

Thanks. You just made me drool on my keyboard.

Now I've got a huge mess to clean up. *sigh*

Great work this guide, but I wonder why the black dial IIf fetches less than the red dial. In the rarity stakes it quite a lot less common, apparently 8400 made.

Maybe this is because the IIfs are seen by some as being a lot less sexy than the IIIfs or maybe it is just because no one knows...

Well the Leica IIF Black Dial is s SLEEPER camera, my opinion it`s a real collectable....(very very hard to find original - without being converted to a IIIF or at least having a new top plate)

I had a 1951 that was Mint- with a EX+++/Minty "under one million" *radioactive* F2.0 Summicron 50mm which I got a $800 trade for in 1996 (pretty good then) but I wish I still had that camera as well as my "first" Leica which was a "matching numbers" 1939 Leica IIIa Model G with it`s original f2.0 Summitar 50mm (I sold that for a little under $300 in 1996 too)

Agreed. Mine is 57xxxx and is original, including the comparatively crude 'economy' accessory shoe. It has the best Elmar on it that I have ever had. Not red scale or anything but just simply perfect with an unmarked barrel et al. I bought this camera thinking, as I always do, that I would trade it on for something else pre-war, black and converted. It's turned out to be a great camera to use and I will not now part with it.

Apart from Leicaflexes, I wonder what other Leica could be described as a 'sleeper'?
