Equipment Type: Rangefinder
Equipment Brand: Leica
Equipment Model: IIIc with original manual and leather case
Price (S$): 180
Description:
Leica IIIc for some repair.

Its a user copy with marks/dents/scratches all over.

Rangefinder patch is very dim I can only see light sources aligning, 1s and 1/2s shutter sticky at times. Dim rangefinder patch is due to deteriorated beam splitter.

Main finder is bright and clear.

Shutter curtain is nice, shutter speed is pretty good from 1/4s to 1/1000s.

While the shutter is hardly an issue, the rangefinder will need some fixing.

If your a handy person, you can buy a $10usd beam splitter on ebay (item no: 301949825871) and fix that dim rangefinder.

If you are using it on ultra wide lenses, ie. 12,15,21mm, you probably dont even need to fix the rangefinder.

Priced according to condition, unlikely you'll ever find a Leica at this price.

Coincidentally, a recently RFF thread shares a video teaching to repair a IIIc beam splitter.
