For Sale FS: Retina IIIc (small “c”) Mint

[btaylor]

Beautiful example. Film tested. I went on a Retina binge- such nicely crafted cameras- but after putting through a roll I must admit to myself that I have way too many 35mm cameras and this would sit on a shelf to be admired but not used. So I must pass this along. Truly Leica-like build quality. This example looks as though it was never used, even the incident diffuser is still in the case. Schneider Xenon f2 50mm in a Synchro Compur shutter is flawless. I have a shutter tester, 1/500 is actual 1/300, 1/250 is actual 1/200- pretty much on par with most leaf shutters and the speeds are consistent. All the speeds down from there are spot on. The big bright line viewfinder is a joy to use even with glasses. The light meter works! It reads low by 2 EV but with compensation it seems accurate in brighter light.
$70 plus $15 shipping in US (international USPS Priority Mail at cost) for this beauty.

If I had seen this, I would have bought it. A pristine IIIc like that doesn't come around often, and when it does, its likely to cost 3 or 4 times what you asked for it.

I thought I would pass on my good fortune. This was an eBay find, I was kinda shocked that it looked and performed like it was brand new. I hope the buyer makes some great pictures with it.
