branko & leica iiic - a photo on Flickriver

Photo taken with a Leica IIIc, made in the year 1950
Lens: Leitz Elmar 833946 50mm. 3.5

Ken Rockwell:
This camera's catalog price with the SUMMAR lens as shown was $4,000, adjusted for inflation.
The popular IIIc (1940-1951) added many small internal improvements, like a much more adjustable shutter system and better baffling to reduce film fogging.
Screw mount lenses are also called M39 by LEICA, as well as L mount, LTM (LEICA Thread Mount), 39mm x 1.0mm thread, LEICA Thread
The viewfinder is brighter than LEICA M cameras.
Indoors is f/2.8 at 1/30 at ASA 400.
Older screw mount lenses use push-on A36 filters
LEICA's manual suggests for the films of the 1930s, to use 1/30 to 1/60 outdoors and to vary the aperture based on lighting outdoors. LEICA suggests using 1/200 and 1/500 speeds for sports shot wide-open (films in the 1930s were about ASA 32). For distant snapshots, focus at infinity and use f/6.3, and for portraits, shoot wide open.
