Leica IIIf Black Dial. Serial number in the 600,000 range, manufactured in 1951/52. An evolution of the Leica IIIc, this refined model features flash synchronization, a strobe contact, and a built-in film speed indicator within the advance dial. Mechanically reliable, with a large production run, it remains reasonably priced. An excellent choice for those who want to enjoy shooting with film.
While attention often shifts toward the Leica M series, with film having become considerably more expensive in recent years, a Barnack Leica is a fine option for those who wish to take each frame with care.
It shows little sign of wear, with a very clean exterior, and can be enjoyed with confidence. All functions operate properly and the viewfinder provides a clear image. The rangefinder shows a slight effect of haze, but it remains well within practical usability.
