I wanna play ;}
First, Leica III sync modified, Summar, and FLQOO Hood. Big Thanks to member HuubL for the Summar and FLQOO! This is a recent Instagram snap.
Second, Leica IIIc "Sharkskin" and Summar. This body went to a fellow RFF'er in Russia. This is also an Instagram snap.
Ive owned maybe 5-6 Summars, Scratched, Chipped, Moldy, and Mashed. By far my FAVOURITE Leica lens, in any condition.
Enjoy!

Interesting viewfinder, Gabor. Can you post a clearer picture? Do you know by whom it is manufactured?

Interesting question Erik. I spotted that finder by accident mounted on a Canon screwmount last Saturday in a train in Tokyo and after a short conversation with the owner of that camera was told that Lemonsha was selling them and had one left that I bought I the next day.
They still have a 21mm finder of the same type and shape for sale (site in Japanese though)

New to forum but I've been lurking and drooling for some time! Finally succumbed to GAS and Gabor was no help..."its a Barnack, they are too small to count." 
Just got the body and lens back from Youxin for CLA and a new shutter curtains. I'm in the middle of my first roll but really loving the experience. So far, the sound of the shutter is my favorite of any camera I own or have shot! Looking forward to checking out more threads and learning much more about these wonderful cameras.

Nice outfit Ron. Don't forget the IIIF has only the 50 viewfinder in it. Get the Voightlander 35 viewfinder from Stephen here, and you will be completely happy with this combo. I do have the Leica 35 SBLOO viewfinder v1 in mint condition, but in shooting up here in early morning fog conditions; the Leica is not sealed as well or as well made to today's standards. My personal opinion only on this, from my experience in using both viewfinders.New to forum but I've been lurking and drooling for some time!

Helen, I love my 1942 IIIc. As a note, do check the chrome for sign of flaking. It has been discussed that plating right after the war had problems due to material and workmanship. This problem existed up to the late forties.

Forgot to add that I have a 1946 coated Elmar and the plating is fine.
