Leica If Red Dial. Leitz code name OEFGO. Serial number in the 760,000 range. Manufactured in 1955. A model derived from the later version of the Leica IIIf, stripped of the viewfinder, rangefinder, and slow shutter speeds. It is equipped with two accessory shoes, offering a high degree of customization. The vulcanite covering and satin chrome finish have the same quality as the Leica M3, showcasing the golden era of Leitz.
You can enjoy a variety of setups, such as attaching an external viewfinder for scale focusing, using a wide-angle lens for snap shooting with a deep focus, or adorning the top with a separate rangefinder like the FOKOS for a lively-looking top plate. This camera allows you to enjoy combining a vast array of Leitz accessories.
There are a few very light scratches on the bottom plate, but overall, the appearance is quite beautiful. There are no dents or significant marks. The mount, the two accessory shoes, and the strap lugs show minimal signs of use. The edges of each dial are sharp, and the satin chrome finish on the top plate shines beautifully. The original vulcanite covering also shows minimal wear, providing a pleasant grip.
It was fully overhauled in July 2024, and the operation of all parts is smooth. Enjoy shooting with your preferred setup!
