Rent NowThe Leica IIIf is a 35mm rangefinder camera built around Leica’s M39 screw mount lens system, representing a refined iteration of Leica’s classic screw-mount rangefinder design produced during the early 1950s. It features a combined rangefinder and viewfinder system for precise manual focus confirmation, and a range of shutter speeds including flash synchronization improvements over earlier IIIc and IIId models that distinguished the IIIf variant. The fully mechanical shutter operates without battery power, and the all-metal construction reflects the precision engineering standards associated with Leica’s rangefinder lineup of the era. This listing includes the 5cm f/2 Summitar lens, a collapsible standard prime representing Leica’s optical design of the period, delivering a natural field of view well suited to everyday photography, portraiture, and street work. The Summitar was produced as a predecessor to the later Summicron and represents a historically significant optic within Leica’s lens development.
