Rare! Leica IIIg + Elmar 50mm f/2.8 + Hood - Excellent Condition
Cleaned, sanitized, and film tested. In perfect working condition with no issues of any kind.
The lens is free of haze, fungus, and significant dust/ Some cleaning signs are visible, but image quality is unaffected.
All buttons and dials function flawlessly and the shutter is precise, even at low speeds. Spacing and advance are correct and the finders are brigh and quite clear. Could benefit from a CLA, but remains entirely usable.
Looks almost unused, excellent overall cosmetic condition, the only defect consists in a small bump on the top.
The Leica IIIg is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced from 1957 to 1960. It represents the final evolution of the screw-mount Leica (LTM or M39) system, retaining the compact, fully mechanical design of its predecessors while incorporating a few refinements. The top plate includes separate windows for the rangefinder and viewfinder, with the latter enlarged compared to earlier models and featuring parallax-corrected, illuminated framelines for 50mm lenses.
Shutter speeds range from 1s to 1/1000s, plus bulb mode, using a horizontally traveling cloth focal-plane shutter. Film advance is manual via a bottom-winding knob. Flash synchronization is available through a PC socket, with a cold shoe on top for accessories.
Paired with the collapsible 50mm f/2.8 Elmar lens, the system is compact and well-balanced. The Elmar 2.8 is a four-element design in three groups, offering improved sharpness over earlier versions. Focusing is manual via a knurled front ring, with a minimum focus distance of 1 meter. Aperture range is f/2.8 to f/16, with click stops.
The IIIg body is all-metal, with finely milled controls and precision mechanics throughout. With the Elmar mounted and collapsed, the camera remains pocketable by rangefinder standards, with total weight around 600g.
