For sale, a Leica IIIc and a Jupiter-12 35mm f2.8 LTM lens.
The camera is in pretty clean condition. Chrome is in good condition, as is the sharkskin covering. The curtains look clean. The shutter does fire except at 1s (and 1/2s even sounds about right) but I can't guarantee accuracy (and I've never shot with this camera). It was modified at some point to add a flash connector - I remember trying it back when I got the camera a couple of years ago and it did fire my 283 (no idea if it was syncing properly). The other issue with it is the rangefinder is so dim as to be pretty much useless. There's a bit of brassing on the slow speed dial and around the eyepieces, and on the strap eyelets. The chrome has some scratching but no peeling.
The lens is a Jupiter-12, an FSU 35mm f2.8 in LTM. It has a very deep rear element but I did use it on my M-3, and it seems to fit on this camera too. I've been told it won't fit on a Bessa-R. Glass is in good shape but I noticed tonight a slight circular scratch on the rear glass (tried to catch it in the one close up photos of the rear). Nothing that should matter, and its probably inevitable given that it's shaped kind of like a fisheye back there. There are two photos taken on very expired Portra 160 with this lens and M-3. I focused on the white board - one shot is f2.8, the other f8.
More photos are on Flickr here.
Looking for $175 for the camera and $140 for the lens. Buy both for $260. Payment via paypal (I pay the fees). Shipping via USPS Priority (not included in the price).
Thanks,
Dan
