Re: [!! SPAM] Re: Odd IIIc on Ebay

Mark, your Visoflex was a bargain. The seller of the IIIc seems to think they have a very rare variation OR they're looking for a sucker. The serial number makes it an early post-war 1946/47 camera and to the best of my knowledge they were ALL chrome finish. The chrome used in those early post-war years was of poor quality and often flakes off so I'm guessing that this one was stripped of it's chrome and painted black. Nor have I ever seen reference to any camera being marked "Leitz-Eigentum" (Leitz property). The person who did this may have been having a bit of innocent fun but asking what the seller wants for it is not funny if provinence can't be documented.

I have a *really odd*, Frankenstein-like Visoflex III with the finish bleached gray. Price was right though - less than 30 bucks on eBay, and it works very well.
