Only 100 cameras with special black painted Elmar 3.5/5cm were manufactured for the Swedish military in 1956, they were winterised to enable them to function in arctic conditions. This camera is in 100% beautiful original, never restored condition with matching black Elmar 3.5/5cm no.1427170. The IIIf black is not only one of the top collectors items, but also one of the most attractive military Leica cameras ever, almost impossible to find in this condition ! Exactly this camera is illustrated in Paul-Henry van Hasbroeck 'A History illustrating every Model and Accessory' page 60 - ex Jim Jannard collection
