This is a IIIC (K) I once owned from 1942. I sold it in the 80s. I wish I still had it!

Or rather it isn't !

My second Leica. It's been many years with just the little Leica II, now she has a younger sister (thanks, Al!)


Leica IIIc Wartime Stepper has a new frock by Johan Niels Kuiper, on Flickr

1945 Stepper IIIc 'Bring-back camera', updated to IIIf specs (so it's a IIIc-syn now), with excellent Jupiter-8 50mm 2.0, fake lens cap and vintage strap.

It's been around and still it works as intended!

Hello,
this is my 1940 IIIC "stepper" with red curtains and matching Elmar
But in a recent CLA i decided to replace them with new black one (i stored the red ones for historic purpose).
Just shoot two rolls (some images are on my Intstagram page), definitely love it !

Recently acquired this, one of the best condition wartime IIIc bodies I've ever come across. Not bad for 84+ years of age! Actually one of the best Barnacks of any age.
