Model Details

Rapid film winder introduced by Leica in 1935. It is comparable with prewar cameras up to the Leica IIIB. It replaces the baseplate and allows the user to advance the film by pulling a lever for continuous rapid action shooting. Very early models utlilze a metal ribbon but this was quickly changed to a tightly woven silk tape for safety reasons. A later version compatible with the IIIc and IIId were developed in the early 1940s called the SCNOO-C. Metal body available in silver (SCNOO).

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.
