Leica IIIf Self-Timer (1955) w/50mm f/2 Collapsible Summicron EXCELLENT

Body is super clean. Speeds sound accurate, but one second hangs up occasionally. All speeds above sound great.

The rangefinder is bright and in alignment.

The 50mm Summicron has some haze. Focus is smooth; no oil on the blades.

The Leica IIIf is a later model thread-mount camera made from 1950-1957. It is very compact for the era.

There are two side-by-side viewfinders; the left one for focus and right one for framing the shot.

The focus side has a diopter level that adjusts it to your particular eyesight making it easier to focus. The framing side shows the field of view for a 50mm lens.

Exterior shoe mounted finders can b added for different focal lengths.

Later versions have a built-in self-timer.

Shutter speeds run from 1-Sec. to 1/1000th, B and T. Speeds under 1/50th are set by a small dial on the front of the body.
