AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Leica III (Leica “Barnack”) – Black lacquer version
Condition as shown in the photographs: original paint, casing, and finish. The paint is in excellent overall condition; some wear revealing brass is visible, as illustrated in the images. The camera has no noticeable dents or scratches. It is in good working order: the shutter and the film advance mechanism have been tested and are accurate. Note that the slow speeds can sometimes lack smoothness. The rangefinder patch is clearly defined. The camera is accompanied by a Leitz Elmar 50 mm f/3.5 lens with a nickel finish (from an early production), fully functional. The optical elements are in good condition, the diaphragm blades are in good condition, and the retractable mechanism works correctly.
