Looks almost unused, excellent overall cosmetic condition, the only defect consists in a small bump on the top.
The Leica IIIg is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced from 1957 to 1960. It represents the final evolution of the screw-mount Leica (LTM or M39) system, retaining the compact, fully mechanical design of its predecessors while incorporating a few refinements. The top plate includes separate windows for the rangefinder and viewfinder, with the latter enlarged compared to earlier models and featuring parallax-corrected, illuminated framelines for 50mm lenses.
Shutter speeds range from 1s to 1/1000s, plus bulb mode, using a horizontally traveling cloth focal-plane shutter. Film advance is manual via a bottom-winding knob. Flash synchronization is available through a PC socket, with a cold shoe on top for accessories.
Paired with the collapsible 50mm f/2.8 Elmar lens, the system is compact and well-balanced. The Elmar 2.8 is a four-element design in three groups, offering improved sharpness over earlier versions. Focusing is manual via a knurled front ring, with a minimum focus distance of 1 meter. Aperture range is f/2.8 to f/16, with click stops.
The IIIg body is all-metal, with finely milled controls and precision mechanics throughout. With the Elmar mounted and collapsed, the camera remains pocketable by rangefinder standards, with total weight around 600g.
