Description: This was obviously a well-cared for camera. Leica III Model F black/nickel camera No.149639 c.1935 with chrome Elmar 5cm f/3.5 lens No. 231327 c.1935. Cosmetically, the camera is in very fine condition (see images), with only minimal traces of use. Working condition is perfect, with all shutter speeds working perfectly fine, including the slow speeds. Shutter curtains look fine. The viewfinder is clean and clear. Rangefinder image is well-defined and spot-on. The lens is exceptionally-clean, with clean optics, no cleaning marks or fungus, and just a mild touch of haze, which should not affect the performance of this lens. Original case is in good used condition. The camera also comes with a score of original (not re-print) manuals and brochures in fine condition, dating from 1934-38. Overall a superb outfit in exceptional condition.
