Leica IIIf, Black Dial 534763

This Leica IIIf (Silver, Black Dial), #534763, is in good condition with some handling wear. I rate it cosmetically an (8+). The camera is mostly functional; film advances properly and the viewfinder is clear, but the shutter is inaccurate at speeds below 30. The rangefinder is accurate, although it is a bit dim. This camera includes a body cap. Please refer to the photos for details.
