I put two versions of the calendar on LULU.COM. If anyone loves Leica cameras as much as I do and wants a copy or just wants to check it out, you can access it here: CLASSIC LEICA CAMERAS 2014 CALENDAR.
I still shoot film with some of these cameras today.

The screw-mount LEICA IIIf is significantly smaller and lighter than any Leica M camera. It's so light that I often forget it's with me.
ReplyDeleteThe LEICA IIIf is often quieter than LEICA M cameras, so in other words, it does what they do best, but even better. It is many times quieter than the noisy digital LEICA M9.
The IIIf weighs only two-thirds as much as a typical LEICA M. It weighs only half as much as most DSLRs, and less than one-third what a pro DSLR weighs, and delivers better image quality.
It is the same shape as LEICA M cameras, but is it slightly smaller in every dimension. LEICA M cameras are bigger than screw-mount cameras, and digital M cameras have gotten even slightly bigger.
The LEICA IIIf is an excellent sixty-year old camera. It sold for the equivalent of $3,500 in its day.
