The Leica IIIf was first available with a black flash sync adjusting dial (concentric with the shutter speed dial) The later IIIf had a red dial. An improved shutter was in the very last of the BD cameras and all the RD cameras. There were virtually no BD cameras with a self timer but the RD was also available with a self timer. The "red" in the RD cameras sync dial can get pretty grimy and sometimes true RD cameras are advertised as BD cameras. I hope this helps and I know that others will cheerfully step in and correct any mistakes I have made.

The CD is named Drag Sounds 2001 . Nothing to do with Leicas except that this is the kind of music my M's are used to . The work great in that smokey environment . www.nitronics.com ( I know you'll love it ) . Chears Jo Goodtimes , France . Live Free or Die.
