LEICA M3 single stroke, 35mm rangefinder with body cap.
SN: 1044467
Manufactured in 1961
Wetzlar, Germany
- Finder is clear but does have a very slight haze. Silver frame lines are 97% intact with some missing flecks of silver. Focusing patches have some silver degradation but are totally usable. (Please see new pics taken to the best of my ability with my iPhone. The first is the test/control pic taken with my M10R then there are 3 pics taken through the M3's viewfinder with my iPhone, each taken with a 50mm, 90mm & 135mm attached to the M3 to show the respective frame lines for each focal length. I then added one showing the 50mm lines taken inside, just for a different perspective.The rounded 50mm frame lines on the M3 are always present even when a 90mm or 135mm lens is mounted.)
- .91x finder is optimized for 50mm lenses and the view is near actual size, the largest on any Leica M. The M3 also has 90mm & 135mm frame lines that automatically appear when used with lenses of those focal lengths.
- Camera works properly through all shutter speeds.
- Self timer & frame line selector lever all work.
- Comes with both white plastic flash sync terminal caps and a body cap.
- New laser cut black Moroccan goat skin leather covering from Hugo Studio.
All said, this is a beautiful, well functioning camera.
