Nice camera. This serial number shows a manufacturing date somewhere in 1948-1949. This means a camera of 65 years old!
Someone get this camera and have a lot of fun and excitement with it.
I have a Leica III (1936) with the 5 cm collapsible lens (uncoated version) and I like it: very nice for B&W photography.

a IIc that has been upgraded to a IIf, really: note the flash synch dial, the film type indicator and PC flash plug. Seriel number puts it definitely in the IIc area, but very close to the IIf run, which started in 1952 --- so at some point this was either upgraded, or the serial number is wrong, which is doubtful.

Odd upgrade -- usually they would add slow speeds and make a II into a III.

veddy interesting.

Yes, you must be right. I hadn't realized that.

Hey! Beautiful machine. Would you consider selling either the body or elmar or both by themselves? If so, how much?

Thanks!

 

[Summicron]

I could sell the body and Elmar for $395, or everything for $450.

Sold.
