Leica III C + Summitar 5cm F2.0 [#490497] Analogue camera

Leica iiiC kit with Summitar 50mm f/2 lens, a classic Barnack model. The body serial number is 490497, indicating it was produced in the late batch in 1949, during the transition period from iiic to iiif. It is in excellent condition. The Summitar 50mm f/2 lens is a rare large-aperture lens from the Leica Barnack era. The lens elements are free of fungus and blemishes, exhibiting exceptional clarity. The shutter speed is crisp and accurate, at 1/1000 second. The lens can lock when extended, but it cannot lock when retracted, which may be a design flaw in the lens.
