The Reassembly, Part #2
Post Disassembly, the Leica IIIf I snagged off Ebay is starting to shape up. Picked up a 3.5cm f/3.5 lens and a multi-finder off Ebay as well. Up next is to order a new leather covering.If you ever have a camera in need of a new covering, check out cameraleather.com. The web site is pretty dated, but this guy has everything from classic black pebble calfskin to red lizard skin coverings, if that's your bag. It's a pretty simple and cost effective way to bring an old camera back to life.It's difficult to tell from the photograph, but the chrome is pitting badly on most of the top plate, so I'll probably end up stripping the chrome, and re-painting the body in black lacquer. Mechanically the camera is in great shape after I re-built the shutter and cleaned out the 50 years worth of dirt.Have a look through the Leica IIIF tag to see a few images I've shot with it so far...
