Saturday’s Camera – Leica IIIg

May 8, 2021May 9, 2021Chris and Carol

The Leica IIIg is the last Leica Screw Mount body – 1956.

Stripped of its skin.

I have the new leatherette for my IIIg but as of yet I haven’t found the quiet time needed to install it. The camera and the Leicavit received a complete CLA from Mr. Ye so it’s good to go. In this case I’m chasing time.

Beautiful. Are you re covering it in faux snakeskin or Ostrich?

Thanks! Actually, I’ve been playing around with it like it is. It has a wonderful feel with your fingers against the metal. I’m going to recover it as close a match as I can to the original. I had to remove the original covering as it had cracked into a thousand pieces.
