This model got it "all together" the evolutionary development of the early Leica with the development of flash synchronization, self timer, and the finest trouble free shutter mechanism. Interchangeable removable back, with dual key lock, makes easy access for loading and unloading film,the interior looks new,as does the spool. Reinforced tripod socket with American size thread. Some features of this camera are: a rangefinder coupled to a large very bright viewfinder, a diopter adjustment for eyeglass wearers, a self-timer, a wide range of shutter speed (including "professional" 1/1000).
