The LEICA IIIf is one of the least expensive ways to get into the LEICA system. The IIIf looks so crazy and ancient that no one will give you a hard time photographing with it. Superstitious people who confuse DSLRs with weapons are not afraid of the IIIf. The LEICA IIIf works great, but for practical photography, it requires about twice as many knobs and settings to do the same thing as a modern fully-manual camera requires. It's so light that I often forget it's with me. It is many times quieter than the noisy digital LEICA M9. LEICA M cameras are bigger than screw-mount cameras, and digital M cameras have gotten even slightly bigger. Today for shooters, it's incredibly complicated, manual and backwards compared to an M3 or any other current camera. This unnecessary fluff detracts from their religious photographic devotions, and are therefore seen as the work of the Devil. These frills must be expunged. The IIIf is as He, The Creator of modern photography, intended photography to be. People were told not to wait for a new camera, and just buy the IIIc. Then for Christmas 1950, Leica broke the news about the brand-new must-have IIIf. You look through one to focus, and move your eye to the other to compose and shoot. This adjustment is the little lever around the rewind knob. The rangefinder is a separate magnified window. It incorporates 37 years of continual advancements from Oskar Barnack's first 1913 prototype. It indicates in ASA and Weston, and indicates either color or black-and-white. An option was to have DIN readings instead of Weston along with the ASA indications. Orthodox Leica fanatics refuse to allow these frills on their cameras. This is not a problem, since the best photographers use nothing but a 50mm lens anyway. Accessory finders are a pain. Orthodox shooters are quick to point out that the main reason Leica invented the M series with multiple-frameline finders was so that Leica could sell more lenses, not because it lead to better pictures. The IIIf is the most advanced Orthodox screw-mount Leica, but it's still 60 years old. The month before, you had to buy and calibrate external synchronizers with three-way contacts to go between your cable release, shutter button and flash unit to get the flash to fire at the correct instant for even focal-plane shutter exposure. Back in the 1950s, speeds had not become universal from one camera model to the next. It also has red contact numbers. Because the M3 cost about 50 more, and most people already had a slew of screw mount lenses and accessories. When Canon came out with the EF mount in 1987, you had to buy all new lenses because your old FD lenses were worthless on the new mount. Bravo, LEICA! Current M-mount bayonet lenses do not fit. The VIOOH's sharp-edged image is adjustable both for parallax, and also for magnification changes with distance. The VIOOH Imarect finder is so good that I also suggest it for use with LEICA M cameras for more precise results. I have no idea why Nikon copied the cable release of the screw-mount Leicas in the 1950s, when Leica had already moved to the current cable release socket with the M3 of 1954. God only knows what I could knock out if I took the IIIf someplace scenic. Here are some more. The IIIf's rangefinder can be calibrated at one distance, and that's about it.http://www.liga.org.ua/content/dell-6200-switch-manual M cameras allow adjustability at more than one distance, so typically you won't get perfect focus at every distance with a IIIf. I did try to keep my lenses stopped all the way down. Leica made LEICAMETERs which slipped in the accessory shoe. You won't be able to see the setting of the shutter dial under the DIGISIX if you use it in the accessory shoe. I transpose them in my head for the ASA in use. This way I always know when readings are wrong, and can guess well, too, since the same number always corresponds to the same light. This is so you can see them when you have accessories in the shoe. You'll need to check them with the flashlight test. Most will have some haze, and often this isn't a problem. If it is, Gus Lazzari can almost always fix it. It is unlikely you'll come across any of these, but if you do, they offer the best performance. I still wouldn't suggest either current 50mm even if you can find them: each is so much bigger than 1950s lenses that you'll have half of the camera's finder blocked. You'll need an external finder with any of these.It's the only lens you really need, and the only lens covered by the built-in viewfinder. It came in both screw and bayonet mount; you of course need the screw mount. I have a seventy-six year old one from 1934 and it works great. The best is the SUMMARON; the ELMAR was much earlier and crummier. It is sharpest when stopped down. For these lenses, use either hard-to-find A36 filters, or the LEITZ SOOGZ adapter for standard 39mm filters. I got mine at this direct link to it at eBay (see How to Win at eBay ). It gives more precise framing than the built-in viewfinder. It's better than even today's LEICA M9's finder, so it's a great idea to get one. The VIOOH's sharp-edged image is adjustable both for parallax, and also for magnification changes with distance. Why would you want to waste your time, insult your camera and look foolish in front of your friends. The only real reason to shoot with a LEICA IIIf is to use LEICA's superior optics, not to waste film with dinky lenses. You'll block half your viewfinder. I'm unsure if it's available online. That is the problem with the digital garbage of today: these digital cameras demand more attention than the subject itself. Standard out-of-the-box film will not load properly until trimmed. Be sure not to cut across a perforation, as the edge might get caught trying to load. Leave two perforations pulled out of the canister out at the bottom as shown above, and you're good to go. If you shoot a lot, the ABLON is nice because the film drops right into perfect position with little tits that poke in the perforations. The ABLON comes with its own cutter in its own small leather case, bravo! The back does not swing open. The dot on the shutter release button moves as the film spins the sprockets, and stops just before the last of the film is drawn back into the cassette. The infinity lock is designed to take the torque; the close-range stop of the focus helicoid is not. Keep the IIIf in your shadow. This focuses the 1.5x telescope of the rangefinder so you can see it best with different distances. Maybe some chewing gum would help keep it in place. Don't try to move it when the shutter is uncocked. It is connected directly to the shutter rollers and spins as the shutter exposes your film. If you obstruct it, you'll get weird exposure. It's the same as the adapter for the Nikon F and Nikon F2. These are different from the red numbers. Leica doesn't recommend these bulbs, since they are designed to give light as a short peak and lead to uneven exposures. The more exotic FP flashbulbs are designed for a more even light output over a short period of time for curtain travel. Their dad bought this LEICA to photograph the beautiful scenery in Germany. He dragged the whole family all around Europe taking photos. Thomas Racicot had spent a lot of money on this camera, and wasn't about to give it up. Strength brings peace. I hope I can do him at least a little bit of service using and preserving his old LEICA today. Like many old cameras, the finder wasn't very clear, the shutter was sticky, the shutter curtains were crinkled, and it had green oxidation goo around a lot of the edges of the chrome. They even replaced the fake leather perfectly, as you can. The rangefinder is dead-on, with perfect alignment. Of course after a full overhaul, the shutter works perfectly. Gus did an amazing job resuscitating this 60 year old camera to like-new performance. I'm sure it will give another 50 years of service before needing any more adjustment or cleaning. It costs you nothing, and is this site's, and thus my family's, biggest source of support. These places have the best prices and service, which is why I've used them since before this website existed. I recommend them all personally. It's great people like you who allow me to keep adding to this site full-time. Thanks! Thank you. The LEICA IIIf is one of the least expensive ways to get into the LEICA system.
