That F makes my IIIa look like the antique it is Huubl.

Thanks guys, indeed the IIIf is a very nice camera, but in fact I like the older, "classic" Barnacks even a tad more. And in my eyes, the most beautiful ones are the post WWII III upgrades (IIIa sync, you could call it a classic IIIf), bodies with virtually new exteriors and upgraded innards (see the screw-mount conversions thread in this forum). I've got a nice one in chrome and another one in black under way 😉

Something tells me you have a black IIIa-syn with a real early number coming in, or am I mistaking, Huub?

Thank you Helenhill, i bought this Leica in Prague. This camera has probably belonged to a professional photographer, given the state of the black paint that is almost completely gone. Who? I'll never know ...

Hey Ko.Fe,

Nice llF I have one just as nice. Yours looks to be in prestine condition judging by the overall appearance and lack of wear on the lugs. Very nice indeed. Only one small chip on the front vulcanite. Gerry Smith could fix that.

Nice f3.5 50mm ELMAR too. Mine is identical.

What are the serial numbers of body and lens ?. Can you provide any additional pictures ?.

I enjoy mine, no slow speeds which suits me fine. Very simple and easy.

Thanks for showing !.

Thank you.
Lens is FED 50 3.5, can't afford Elmar, yet.

Vulcanite is missing if couple of more spots, some scratches, but it is intact inside.

Purchased it for my street photography. Don't need long speeds for it.
