Leica IIIc
Leica IIIc with a 50mm F:2.0 Summitar lens - the quintessential "Barnack Leica." It has shutter speeds 1-second to 1/1000th sec. Rangefinder is seperate from the viewfinder, which can slow things down a bit while shooting - but it is bright and easy to use. There is no accommodation for using flash – which suits me just fine. I have yet to do any serious shooting with this old bird – but I recently had it overhauled – so it is ready for the call. I had one back in the late 1960’s and just wanted another for my working collection.
