Leica IIIa with Leitz Summar 50mm f2 lens $350

This is a 1937 Leica IIIa from 1937. It's a beautiful little camera. I actually prefer it a little more over my Leica IIIc but my Grandfather gave me that camera and it is The Camera That Will Never Be Sold. The IIIa is a little thinner and feels a little better in the hand. Not much, mind you, but it makes the IIIc feel just a little porky. It's been sent off to Youxin Ye for a clean, lube, and adjust. Everything is working as it should. There is some brassing but not much. The cover is in great shape.

Included is a 1937 Leitz Summar 50mm/f2 lens also from 1937. Th is lens came with the camera so I assume it is the original lens. The lens is problematic so I include is as a body cap but I don't think it will take much to restore it to its former glory. The focus and retraction is very stiff but a clean, lube, and adjust will take care of that. As you can see in the pictures there are some black spots inside the lens. I don't know if it is dust, fungus, or mold. My recommendation would be to send it to Youixin Ye (www.yyecamera.com). He can advise you on what they are and if he can remove  them. And he can service the lens so that it will focus easily and correctly. I never had it taken care of since I had other lenses. This camera will take any Leica thread mount lens. I have some for sale.
