Hello, I wonder if anyone can help a very puzzled person.

I want to buy a 'user' screw thread Leica but I'm completely confused 
about the model nubers and suffixes.

I've managed to work out that the most sought after ordinary one is the 
IIIg, while also establishing that the price of these is way beyond my 
means.

So what should I be looking for, if I want one to use? What does a IIIc 
not have that a IIIf does? What does a Red dial IIIf give me that a Black 
dial doesn't? is a IIIf better than a IIf? do the model numbers indicate 
the age, or the suffix?

Do any of them have electronic flash sync, or are they all bulb or no 
sync at all?
