Today out of a local estate I am listing a neat old Leica M3 or I was told it might be a 1950 to 1957 3f or iiif or even a 3A? You be the judge as I do not know what it is.It was found in a dresser drawer there. I really don’t know much about these. It looks to still have some film in it (don’t know how to pull it out) and it winds or rolls forward and clicks and snaps as I press the button. Please check out the photos and ask me and I will try to answer any questions. Pa...ypal payment due at auction end and properly packed insured shipping will be $18.50.
Info I found online about the iiif -
Leica IIIf. The Leica IIIf was Leitz's (later Leica) first 35mm camera body for screw mount lenses with built-in synchronization. It succeeded the Leica IIId, which was a rare variant of the Leica IIIc. Built-in synch means that, unlike its predecessors, the IIIf didn't need an optional rework for flash photography.
The LEICA IIIf is often quieter than LEICA M cameras, so in other words, it does what they do best, but even better. It is many times quieter than the noisy digital LEICA M9 . The IIIf weighs only two-thirds as much as a typical LEICA M.
