Description from the seller

Leica M3 DS, repainted in black lacquer.

This model belongs to one of the early runs, the DS version with double stroke, and features the iconic Buddha ear strap lug.

Excellent condition. Everything works perfectly!

All components have been rigorously tested; the body is in good condition and the shutter speed is precise. The rangefinder works perfectly and the internal mechanism has been fully overhauled by Leica technicians; the shutter curtain is pristine. The viewfinder is bright and sharp, and focusing is fast and precise thanks to the yellow mark on the rangefinder.

See the photos for more details.

Includes a body cap (original metal cap from the early series) and an original leather case (slightly worn)!

Note: All functions are rigorously tested before shipment; a detailed condition report is also provided.
