Classic Leica M3 Single Stroke!
Note - Lenses listed as ‘add-ons’ will have 10% off at checkout!
Serial Number - 1059790 (Made in 1962)
Features:
Just had a full CLA from Classic Camera, so running and feeling good as new!
Best Leica for 50mm Users
Super-accurate Leica rangefinder system Leica is known for, with the most accurate 0.91x viewfinder magnification!
Amazing build quality, renowned for being the best-built Leica ever!
Classic M Shutter Speeds from 1/1000th - 1 Second, plus Bulb, with 1/50th Sync Speed
Classic all-metal winding lever and rewind knob!
Major historical significance as the 1st Leica in the M Series, which is still going strong today!
Overall Condition - This camera is basically perfect; it’s evidently had very little use in its life, though it has been thoroughly CLA’d by Classic Camera, meaning it’s running as new, without any of the issues associated with being out of use. It mechanically feels as good as new Leica MPs, and all shutter speeds have been tested as part of the CLA , and are fully accurate. Cosmetically, the camera is near-perfect. It has had new leatherette applied and been throroughly cleaned externally. The only blemishes are the finish damage on the self-timer lever (which we’ve kept to maintain originality, though we can replace upon request), and a very small chip on the side of the back door (see photos). Otherwise, there are almost no scratches on the rest of the body, and all of the paint is original and perfect. The viewfinder has also been completely cleaned out and is as good as new. The rangefinder brightness isn’t at the level of new Leicas, though is still super accurate and more than bright enough to focus quickly in any situation.
