Camera is in exc+ condition with just a few bright marks. All edges are perfect with no dings or dents. The patina is nice and even over the camera top plate and bottom plate. There is a very small 1/4 inch semi-circular bright mark on the back, seen in the pictures. There is no wear inside the strap lugs. Functions are great with clean and clear VF and bright accurate RF. The shutter curtains look nice and clean with no issues. The shutter seems accurate at all speeds. The vulcanite is all original and in excellent condition. Camera winder works great, and the Leicavit does too. It matches the cosmetics of the camera, almost mint but with just a very few bright spots from light use. The lens is a really nice summitar 50mm f2 collapsible in exc++ cosmetic condition and clean and clear with no issues. I can't find any cleaning marks front or back and I can't see any haze. The lens is quite sharp. Aperture blades look great. The aperture ring and focus ring move nice and smoothly. The original baseplate is also included and in exc++ condition. This is a beautiful camera that is a blast to use and produces great images with the very nice lens. Comes with original lens cap. Priced to sell at $1350.00 shipped in USA.

Wow. What a beautiful set! Especially with that Leicavit! Love my Summitar. That one looks in great condition.
 
Yes, it was made during the few years where they had both 10 blade aperture and also the good coatings. A nice clean one will give results equal to the Summicron (at least in the central region, the edges fall off a bit compared to the 'Cron) Bob.
 
I have this on a couple sites and some have PM'd me suggesting I am going to be sorry to sell at such a low price. I will let the price go for today but probably heed their advice and either pull the ad or adjust the price later tonight, just sayin'... Bob.
 
The Summitar is far better of a lens than most give it credit for being; against all logic it's both silky and razor-sharp at the same time. That's a really clean sample, too; someone will be very happy to have it.

exactly +1 !
 
The Leicavit has sold, I am asking $850.00 shipped for the IIIg and 50mm Summitar shown. Bob.
