I first got a 1932 nickel plate fitted Leica II with an 11 o'clock Elmar from the classified here a few years ago. I have had some wonderful pictures from it. I had to fix the rewind knob which wouldn't extend, and the shutter mechanism works well at all speeds but is a bit screechy and needs lubrication. The front element has haze, but it adds to the charm and I will leave it.
So I got a later camera, a beatiful black paint 1937 Leica III and a good coated Elmar from 1951. The camera has been lubricated, but the RF is very dim and the spacing or the shutter or both are a problem and it will need a service.
Several months ago I was out carrying the Monochrom when I came upon a very young man with a screwdriver, lining up an old IIIc on a distant city building. We talked briefly, but he seemed not to have much time for an older man with a digital Leica.
Three months ago I went to the twice-yearly Australian Photographic Collectors' Society meeting at the Box Hill Townhall. On a table was a perfect looking IIIf with an indifferent Elmar. I asked the history of the camera only to be directed to the young man I had met near my house months earlier. He had serviced this camera, cleaning the rangefinder in particular and recovering it. He works for a camera store and picked up his skills on his own.
I bought the camera but not the lens. The camera is perfect. Probably has had less than a hundred rolls through it. It is currently my go to camera. I've mostly run Ektar through it.

The Voigtländer Heliar 50mm 2.0 LTM is a beauty in it's own right.A big shout out to Hugo Studio, for their Genuine Stingray Black Leather!
Received it today and got to work straight away. The old vulcanite came off at once, my camera could have slipped from its covering any moment it seems, yikes!
This Stingray Leather is Mother Nature's original GripTac. The stingray fish digests sand particles and the broken down silica is formed to new grains (of sand, basically) in the skin. This creates a natural armour, so the leather is tough as nails and it looks the deal on a 1932 Leica II.
Mounted is a high-gloss Jupiter-8 'Made in USSR' export model in pristine condition, to the side is the Voigtländer Heliar 50mm 2.0 LTM in nickel, which is modelled after the Rigid Summar lenses of the early 1930s.
