The Second One

Only 100 IIIf cameras with special black painted Elmar 3.5/5cm were manufactured for the Swedish military in 1957, they were winterised to enable them to function in arctic conditions.

 

The offered camera is the second one produced! A sidenote found in the control book in the Leica Archive confirms the batch 'Kamera no. 822901-923000 matt. schwarz'. It is in 100% original, never restored condition, with a beautiful patina around the edges, with matching black Elmar 3.5/5cm no.1427139. The IIIf black is not only one of the top collector's items but also one of the most attractive military Leica cameras ever made - this one, the second one made, is even more special.
