Subject: [Leica] FS: Leica IIIf BD ST - $349

Walker,

You probably have much better info than I have.  Red Dial IIIf's start with
SN611000, and his shows 5227xx, so I assumed it was in the block of IIIf BD
cameras just prior to the RD version.  He quoted shooting at 1/60th, which
corresponds to pre-RD shutter speeds.  It had not occurred to me that it
might have been early enough to be a "c" body.

Sorry I misled the LUG.
