Model Details

Manual focus LTM/M39 mount 35mm rangefinder camera introduced by Leica in 1956. The IIIg was the last screw-mount camera that Leica made. It features a greatly improved viewfinder system that incorporates a parralax-corrected frame lines for 50mm and four corner triangles for 90mm. This black paint camera does not align with Leica records, and thus we cannot verify its authenticity. It either uses original spare parts or was repainted. Metal body available in black (GOOEF).

  • Shutter: Horizontal cloth focal plane, 1s - 1/1000 + T
  • Size: 136 x 65 x 39 mm

LTM / M39

M39 is a screw-type mount system originally designed by Oskar Barnack for Leica cameras in the 1930s. These Leica Thread Mount (LTM) camera bodies attach lenses using a 39mm threaded screw mount.

This mount was the prominent rangefinder mount for Leica until 1953 when the M3 debuted. The M Mount bayonet spelled the end for Leica’s thread mount cameras, although other manufacturers, like Canon, Leotax, and Zorki, continued to use the M39 mount for their cameras.

There are some early Soviet SLRs that also use a 39mm thread mount called M39. Lenses for this system are incompatible with M39 rangefinder lenses, and vice versa, due to differences in flange distance.

M39 rangefinder lenses can be easily adapted to mirrorless camera systems.
