This is a beauty of a Leica IIIf Red Dial. The body just had a full CLA with new curtains. The rangefinder patch is clear and bright with a strong second image. Shutter speeds are all snappy and ready to go. The only exception would be the one second speed. You have to position the dial a little past the 1 and toward the 2, but it works once you figure it out.

The lens is fantastic. None of the hazing you typically see in these. It's clear and bright. Blades are good to go. Typical minor internal dust, as would be expected. However, these lenses are quite easy to take apart if you ever want to clean them on your own down the road.

The Leica Turret finder functions without issue and looks good. The Elmar hood has a minor ding around the outside ring. The leather case was a full one but was made into a half one. Not pictured, but YES included is the Leica metal lens cap for the lens and also a body cap for the body.

This is a GREAT camera! I wanted to love it myself, but I just can't seem to vibe with it, otherwise it would be kept.

I might consider trades on this. Of interest would be a 2.8 Rolleiflex, large format gear, panoramic, etc. Prefer to sell, but hey, never hurts to ask.
