AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Up for auction: a prestigious 35mm rangefinder camera from a high-end collection—the Leica IIIg, produced in Germany by Ernst Leitz GmbH Wetzlar in 1957.

The lot presents in good overall condition, functioning, and is complete with its original case.

Optics. The Ernst Leitz Wetzlar Elmar 50mm f/2.8 lens shows no scratches or traces of internal mold or fungus. Only a normal, widespread vintage patina due to age, entirely physiological, which does not affect the shot. The telescoping mechanism moves smoothly.

Mechanical. The lot has been tested and is functioning.

Aesthetics. Good overall condition of the camera body, as clearly documented by the photographs. The solid metal construction retains a strong visual appeal with its original satin-silver finish and the usual signs of surface wear.

International tracked shipping, fully insured and professionally super-protective packing to guarantee maximum safety during transport.
