We see a lot of special equipment come through on consignment, like this Leica IIIf kit.
The Leica IIIf is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by E. Leitz of Germany between 1950-56. It is one of the last generations of M39 mount rangefinders produced by Leica before the advent of the M-series cameras. This camera model is known for its dual viewfinder and rangefinder windows, removable base plate for loading film, and dual shutter speed dials for high and low speeds. The Leica IIIf also features a diopter control for the viewfinder, which enhances the user's control over focus.
The Leica IIIf was favored by many renowned photographers for its quiet shutter, smooth controls, and compact design. It includes a separate dial for slower shutter speeds, a self-timer, and a flash synchronization dial, which allows users to adjust the triggering time for both the flash bulb or electronic flash. This model remains one of the most sought after cameras well into the 21st century.
Loading film into the Leica IIIf can be a tricky affair, as it involves trimming the leader lengthwise so that the film can work its way around teeth on the advance mechanism. However, with practice, this becomes quite easy. The Leica IIIf, like most Leica models, can be upgraded with new features that come along after purchase, making it a highly customizable camera.
This particular Leica IIIf is a Red Dial version, adding to its uniqueness and appeal. The Red Dial version is a notable variant within the Leica IIIf line.
This Leica IIIf kit has been carefully collected and is one of the most complete kits we've seen at Blue Moon Camera!
