Leica IIIg, Leicavit, 5cm f1.5 Summarit 955376
This Leica IIIg (Silver), #955376, is in great condition with minor handling wear. I rate it cosmetically a (9+). The camera is in proper working order; film advances properly, the viewfinder is clear, the shutter is accurate at all speeds, the self-timer functions, and the rangefinder is bright & accurate. The included Leica 5cm f1.5 Summarit lens (Silver), #1528902, is in similar condition, also rated a (9+). The aperture ring is smooth, but the focus ring is quite stiff. The aperture functiosn properly, but there's some oil on the blades. The glass has no haze or fungus, but there are some faint coating marks and slight dust inside. The included Leica Leicavit is also rated a (9+). This listing also includes a front lens cap, bot no rear lens cap or body cap. Please refer to the photos for details.
