Description from the seller

Leica M3 DS (Matte black, repainted)

Serial number: 752052, initial LTM version. This is the most robust batch, regarded as the heaviest and most luxurious of the Leica M3. The early lots are distinguished by their glass back panel with a brass frame.

Complete overhaul (CLA) performed in 2022: gears, shutter curtain, shutter speed – all components function perfectly. The viewfinder is particularly well cared for; the eyepiece frame indicates a replacement by the Leica MP viewfinder lens, offering better sharpness and a wider field of view.

The body is nearly new! It benefits from a high-quality two-stage matte paint finish for increased durability.

All functions have been rigorously tested and work flawlessly! The body is free of scratches, dents, and paint chips. Shutter speed is accurate, the shutter curtain operates perfectly, and all functions are immaculate.
(Includes a chrome shutter speed assist button.)
