Very rare Leica IIIf body in near-mint, original condition, top plate engraved 'Ernst Leitz Canada Limited Midland Ontario', with Midland Summarit 1.5/5 cm no. 1246958 (minimal cleaning marks, cap). Including matching, very rare Midland Leicavit (also in near-mint condition). In total, at the Canadian plant, more than 5.000 units of the Leica IIIf were produced, but only about 200 specimens carry the Canadian engraving. Finding a complete set in this beautiful condition is extremely difficult.
