Hi,
Here is a black paint Barnack Leica lll screw mount Leica with 50mm f/3.5 lens. The shutter runs, the speeds sound about right to my ear, even the slow speeds. Once in a very small while if you get in a hurry the one second will hang up, just not very often. The rangefinder is bright enough for me to see even in interior light situations and seems accurate - but it does need a cleaning. Same thing on the viewfinder, reasonably clear but could use a cleaning. This camera needs a new covering, that can be a fun little project particularly since the old cover has already been removed. The lens glass is clean, the aperture moves ok in the middle values but is stiff at the wide end - -i have not forced it to open all the way because I'd get it cleaned and not break something. The focusing movement moves ok but it is dry and you can tell that. A nice amazingly compact little camera that needs some TLC to be great.
Oh by the way, if I got the model number wrong, please look at the pictures and figure out exactly what model it is as I am not an expert.$325 shipped in the 48 US States. Thanks for looking. Robert
