Leica M3 DS (Matte black, repainted)

Serial number: 752052, initial Focal 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 brass-framed glass rear panel.

Full revision (CLA) performed in 2022: gears, shutter curtain, shutter speed – all components operate perfectly. The finder is particularly well maintained; the eyepiece frame indicates a replacement with Leica MP viewfinder lens, offering better sharpness and a wider field of view.

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

All functions have been rigorously tested and operate perfectly! The body is free of scratches, dents, and paint chips. The shutter speed is precise, the shutter curtain works perfectly, and all functions are impeccable.
(Includes a chrome shutter assist button.)

Leica M3 DS (Noir mat, repeint)

Numéro de série : 752052, version Focal initiale. Il s'agit du lot le plus robuste, considéré comme le plus lourd et le plus luxueux des Leica M3. Les premiers lots se distinguent par leur panneau arrière en verre à cadre en laiton.

Révision complète (CLA) effectuée en 2022 : engrenages, rideau d'obturation, vitesse d'obturation – tous les composants fonctionnent parfaitement. Le viseur est particulièrement soigné ; le cadre de l'oculaire indique un remplacement par la lentille du viseur MP de Leica, offrant une meilleure netteté et un champ de vision plus large.

Le boîtier est quasiment neuf ! Il bénéficie d'une peinture mate double couche de haute qualité pour une durabilité accrue.

Toutes les fonctions ont été rigoureusement testées et fonctionnent parfaitement ! Le boîtier est exempt de rayures, de bosses et d'éclats de peinture. La vitesse d'obturation est précise, le rideau d'obturation fonctionne parfaitement et toutes les fonctions sont impeccables.
（Inclut un bouton d'assistance à l'obturation chrome.）
