I have a Leica iiic in my closet. The shutter trips, but I can tell it's not accurate at slower speeds, and I can barely see the focus indicators on the rangefinder (maybe cleaning would help). At 1/250 sec, the release seems smooth and quick. I've been told that the lens has "mold" even though I can't see it (it's a collapsible Summitar 5 CM F 2.0). The lens looks clean as a whistle to me, but it seems slightly "wobbly" when extended. I'm thinking this could be a good "second camera" to the M-6. Do I have a prayer of having this camera restored to working condition? If so can anyone estimate a range of costs? - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
