Leica Standard manufactured in 1936, later upgraded to a DIII at Leica. This is known as a factory conversion overseas. The serial number is in the 210,000 range. It features a black paint and nickel finish.
Equipped with a rangefinder with diopter adjustment, slow shutter speeds, and strap lugs, it has all the necessary functions for shooting.
Pair your favorite nickel lens with the sleek piano black body to enjoy a vintage feel and take your time capturing photos.
There is some paint loss on the edges, and slight plating wear on the knobs and dials, but it has a good atmosphere that conveys natural aging. There are no dings or dents, indicating it has been well cared for.
It was overhauled at our shop in 2012 and has undergone minor maintenance while passing through the hands of several owners since.
The dials operate smoothly, the viewfinder is clear, and the rangefinder's double image has strong contrast. It is a pleasure to use. Enjoy both shooting and admiring this beautiful camera.
