Sold Konica IIIA Rangefinder - excellent condition $175.

Selling my Konica IIIA rangefinder. I have a bunch of film cameras, way too many, as well as digital and I really need to clean a few of them out. I bought this camera a year ago from Japan Vintage Camera on Etsy, who I've had good luck with. I've only put two rolls of film through it, and the results were very nice. Two rolls in a year means it needs to go to a new home to be used. The rangefinder is accurate, and the focus patch is easy to get focus. Frame lines are bright, the glass looks great, and the body is in similar condition save for a tiny little bit of leather chipped on the bottom of the back door (see photo). Overall, a very clean rangefinder camera!

I've not sold anything yet on Photrio, but have purchased few things on here. I sell most camera gear on FredMiranda, but it's not really all that focused on analog equipment, except Leica.

Just a comment.
This is a reasonable price for a Konica IIIa. I have one, and it is a wonderful camera! The 1 to 1 viewfinder is unrivaled, both compensating for parallax, and for the shrinkage in coverage with close distance. Even Leica's M series of rangefinders don't do that! If you're lucky you might find an everready case to protect that gem of a camera.

And send Mike a little money so he can continue this wonderful service.

Is there a crack in the glass of the VF?

I'm guessing that you're seeing that angled line, that is an angled piece of glass behind the outer glass for the rangefinder.

thanks
