For your consideration this beauty, a black dial Leica IIIf (#527131) with a Serenar 50mm f/1.8
This is the second Leica I do, the first was a II model that I will keep. This IIIf had the shutter cleaned and adjusted, all speeds are correct (tested with tester and film).
Winding and rewinding are smooth, rangefinder patch is visible and accurate and I was able to focus pretty well, I only missed one focus because I moved and I didn't refocus. Take up spool is included.
Cosmetically only worthy to mention is a bit of brass visible in the bottom cover and the viewfinder/rangefinder patch, meaning it's original and not modern plastic. Otherwise camera and lens look fine.
The lens is in almost perfect condition, few and thin cleaning marks in front and rear lens (and usual dust), nothing to worry about but need to be mentioned. Focus is smooth and aperture clicks and stops in every mark.
Some photos I did with Kodak 5222 can be found here.
550 euros shipping (EU, USA and CA) and paypal fees included.
Thank you for looking.
