Description from the seller

Leica M3 DS (Matte black, repainted)

Serial number: 752052, original Focal version. This is the most robust lot, considered the heaviest and most luxurious of the Leica M3. The early batches are distinguished by their brass-frame glass back panel.

Complete revision (CLA) performed in 2022: gears, shutter curtain, shutter speed – all components operate perfectly. The viewfinder is particularly clean; the eyepiece frame indicates a replacement by Leica's MP viewfinder lens, offering sharper clarity and a wider field of view.

The body is practically new! It benefits from a high-quality double-layer matte paint for increased durability.

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