Leica IIIc, 5cm f3.5 Elmar DAG Complete overhaul 396032
This Leica IIIc #396032, with 5cm f3.5 Elmar is in excellent condition with only faint handling wear. I rate it cosmetically at (9) condition. The camera was just returned to us from DAG where a full overhaul was performed. The advance is smooth and the finder is clean and clear, bright and accurate. The shutter curtains are not dry and the speeds are accurate at all settings. The focus is smooth and the aperture works properly. The glass is clean and clear with no haze, marks or fungus. The front cap is included. A great set ready to use!
