Leica IIIf RD with Jupiter 12 35mm f/2.8 and CV finder: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/J-12withCVFinder.JPG.html Leica IIIa with coated 50mm 3.5 Elmar and Leitz finder: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/2006_0219LeicaIIIa0003small.JPG.html I bought this camera and lens in 1952. Both produce fine images, but film processing is now a real problem in my area.
