Photos with the original Leica I with fixed lens.

It doesn't seem to be a factory IIIa, either.

So is it a converted 1930 model I?

It is a I converted before the war to a IIIa.

There is no such thing as an original factory black IIIa, yes there was a legend about a batch of serial numbers reserved for them but they were never used.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Nice, this distortionless Elmar here, Carbo.

I just printed this one, shot with the Leica 1a too.

Splendid photography is evidenced here. Bravo.

How is my Standard Leica practically different from a Leica 1A?
