I have a IIIc from the first run, when the factory reopened in 1945. I had it cleaned, but suspect that the repair shop didn't do a very good job, because the shutter is bounching. One of these days I'll have to send it to DAG or Kinderman (they purchased Leica Canada's LTM parts stockpile) and really get it taken care of. Anyhow, how about a nice IIIf, black or red dial? By the time these surfaced, Leica's production line was back in top form. I also believe that starting with the black dial, Leica made the improved shutter standard. Also grab a cheap VIOOH finder, while you are at it. Using one of these makes a huge difference. cheers, Feli - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feli di Giorgio feli2@earthlink.net www.elanphotos.com
