Thanks, Johan. Yes, this Summitar is a keeper (I think Huub may regret selling it  )

If that's about as great to use as it is to look at, I shall have to turn green with envy

...one word, SWEEEET!!
Well I could not end my post without a congratulation buzzardkid, this gives me GAS for a black Barnack! 
Guess the only way to avoid it is not to look, yeah right, like that's going to happen.

I have had the IIIF for a year now and after a trip to see Youxin (cla, new shutter curtains and new beam splitter) it is like he sent me back a brand new camera (I fear I will never own a real new Leica in this lifetime) I gave in to temptation and bought this camera because of the Summicron with no cleaning marks but never thought I would enjoy it so much. I wasted the last 30 years thinking that these cameras were some how the redheaded step child to the M system but my opinion certainly changed by actually using one ...... now if I only had a black one etc....etc.....etc

After years telling myself not to buy one... an old repairman, friend of mine, sold me a chrome III for the price of a full CLA. Could not resist, and I already had a screwmount adapter...
Shown here with a strange 1935 sonnar f2 (in a f1.5 barrel  ). Looks like an old hot-rod, small body / fat lens.

Allright, this must be a record. I did spend quite some time to find this sweet little Komura 35/3.5 and get it across to NL but now I need to sell it to fund a fast 50 that I need for a project and work...

Too late Simon, it's paid for and boxed up... and it'll be going off to the post office shortly.
The proceeds will go to an early Summilux 50/1.4 for my M2 and future-repaired M4. I have some portrait work coming up it seems and I need the faster, softer and tighter-frame lens for that...

Johan,
Only joking! An early Summilux and M2/4 is a very nice combination and a worthy trade for the Komura I think, well done!

Just some old "camera porn" here I was digging up on my PC...........
A very late 1945 Leica IIIC K Chrome I SOLD to someone here at RFF (they got an amazingly nice/rare camera)
and a uncommon 1943/46 issue Flat Black Painted Leitz Hektor f4.5 135mm lens with a Chrome/Black Painted FIKUS hood, the camera has a "wartime" VIOOH finder on it and also a OKARO rangefinder enhancement filter.
Enjoy!
Tom

Your IIIcK is in good hands Tom
I agree that the 135mm Hektor is a huge beast, the FIKUS makes it worse. I have a similar lens from 1946, but rarely find I need it.

Ahh see it was Rick who bought that one..........yes a really fine specimen of the *very rare* Non-Stamped/Non marked IIIC Kness ~ yeah I photograph a camera with the Hektor on it purly for laughs, it's a really great prop, with that FIKUS hood and the VIOOH on top, looks like something from a Sci-Fi movie!
Like to see work shot with that camera soon......it was delivered with a f3.5/50 Elmar I believe according to the infos back from the Leica factory........too bad the original lens was long gone before I got the camera.
Funny but real 1945 issue Elmar 50's seem to me hard to find right now? - I'm still looking for one for one of my 45' K's.

it does work well, doesn't really get in the way of shooting, just another example of the type of over engineered accessory that makes me love shooting Leica |
