(CLA) Leica Leitz IIIF Vintage German 35mm Rangefinder Film Camera

The body had a complete cleaning and checkup. 100% functional and ready to shoot. Shutter speeds are good and shutter curtain is in good shape with no pinholes or mold damage. Some wear to the body which is typical of a 60+ year old camera.

Paint loss and brass visible on corners and bottom plate. Leather in great shape with no mold, rips or peeling. Body in good condition all around, but definitely was not babied for its entire life. Dates somewhere in the 1930/40s.

Comes with a (possibly inaccurate) selenium meter and original leather case, as well as an uncommon black VALOO hood/adjusting ring. Also has a filter for the lens itself. Lens front element is in poor condition. Very little left of the original coating and some micro-scratches present as well. Some haze in the glass that may clean up. Rear element is in good shape for its age.

Above mentioned issues will likely result in higher flares and loss of some contrast depending on scene. Aperture is a bit stiff, but the VALOO hood helps tremendously. The item "(CLA) Leica Leitz IIIF Vintage German 35mm Rangefinder Film Camera" is in sale since Thursday, June 24, 2021.
