I just bought a nicely working IIIF. It seems I know of several people that have just recently picked up a screw mount camera. Personally, I'm enjoying it a lot, its fun to shoot and the Elmar 3.5 is a really nice lens. I use it a lot with the VC 21. Its fun. -----Original Message----- From: leica-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:leica-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Feli Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2005 6:47 PM To: leica@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: The story of the a black-paint Leica III that wasn't.... Nice camera. I really like the black paint III series. I have a IIIc, chrome. According to the serial number it should be from the first batch Leica produced when they resumed production after the war. feli ========================================================= To Unsubscribe: Send email to leica-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field.
