16pc Leica IIIf Camera Outfit w/Summicron Lens, Braun Hobby Flash & Acc.:
An extensive vintage photography set centered around a Leica IIIf 35mm rangefinder camera, serial number 724269, produced by Ernst Leitz GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany. The camera is fitted with a collapsible Leica Summicron 5cm f/2 lens, serial number 1263049, known for its optical excellence and collectible desirability. Included with the camera are a Leica lens housed in a plastic dome case, likely an additional wide-angle or telephoto lens, a yellow Leica filter in a metal rim, a Leica lens hood, Leica front cap, and additional lens accessories. Also present is a Leica instruction manual and original documentation. The camera comes with its original fitted brown leather Leica case, which shows wear and has a broken shoulder strap. The set also includes a Braun Hobby Automatic flash system with detachable reflector, coiled flash cord, two vintage RCA VS039 flashbulbs, and a matching black Braun hard-shell carrying case with strap and instruction manuals. An additional worn Omnica leather case with brass latch and deteriorated strap is also included. All components show varying degrees of age and use, with the Leica body and Summicron lens appearing in good visual condition, while some accessories, particularly the leather cases, show heavy wear from age and storage.
