- Todd stumbles across a treasure trove of vintage Barnack Leica cameras, and has to decide which ones to keep...and which to sell. He found 11 screw-mount cameras that range from 1932 to 1954 including Leica II, Leica IIIa, Leica IIIc, Leica IIIf, Leica IIIg, and a Leica M2.

Beautiful collection of great and fantastic cameras and lenses! Thank you for presentation.
Thank you, Robert. I think I'm about to print some photos of these screw mounts as a collection. Unfortunately, I only have two left, which are permanent in my collection.
WOW! What a score! I hope you put a roll through each one before you sold them (and made a video about it!)! Great videos! Keep ‘em coming!
I have Leica II as well and I totally agree with you that this camera is special...
Size is perfect and black paint and Nickel is so beautiful.
Anyway great start of the Camera channel...
Thank you, TAK Motors. It is definitely a timeless camera. New episode on the Kodak Retina IIIC coming up.
Just picked up a IIIc and a IIIf off ebay for under $250 each. They're fun cameras.
Indeed. I have one IIIc, the II, and the M2 left. Keepers.
I love to own one IIIG…
What a find. Even at a bargain price that must been ouch to the wallet.
Have never owned a Leica-although, I have picked up an old leitz-Elmar 3,5cm f3,5 lens that was sitting at the bottom of a box at garage sale. I’ll have to pick up a Barnack to mount that lens on.
Screw-ins aren't as much as you would think they are. A better value than jumping up to the M3. A IIIc would do you right without crushing your pocketbook.
Almost one or two Cars is on the table…!
Not quite, but I was able to sell most of them to afford keeping a few and buy a new scanner!
@@FilmCameraObsession what scanner?
I just got a 2. Very excited to use it. First roll in now. The range focus is a little stubborn. It needs new lube. But I'm trying to understand what the focal ring should feel like. Should it be easy to twist or have a little tension on it?
Nice! Congrats. The focus ring should be smooth and easy. It will need a CLR. I highly recommend Youxin Ye in New York. He has a website. The focus will always be difficult. Most people added a separate range finder focusing column.
that black leica is so beautiful
Isn't it a beaut! Despite the really difficult range finder, I love shooting it. It is a keeper in my collection for sure.
really cool!
Thank you. I've been loading them with film to check them out.
@@FilmCameraObsession i had a M2 a few years back, sold it then got a M3 i do regret selling the m2, but the m3 i love it. also i can get one of those Leica II black version but i would need a LTM lens, i am curios of having one of those old ones.
@@rickytrix I didn't think I would like the LTM after the M3, but at the moment I'm digging them.
You want to keep all of them, don't be silly !
Leicas are beautifully made - I love their shutter sound.
The lenses are the real gems.
I'm always scared of buying Leicas because there's so many replicas that look so similar... 🦘
My favourite Leica will always be the black paint Leica ii
Yes! Full agreement.
It is so very cool. I will have a show dedicated to that one camera soon.
@@FilmCameraObsession great! Looking forward to it!
which ones did you keep, great haul by the way, I tend to use my M2 the most
Sigh. I just sold the IIIg, which I was hoping to hold onto. BUT, I still have the Leica II (check out my video on it) and the M2. Those are staying! But selling them allowed me to keep these two for free and make a little money. I am still kicking myself for selling my M3 double-stroke.
I kept the M2! And the Leica II. The M2 needs a little work, but it is a wonderful camera.
wow! which one is your favorite, which ones do you keep?
I have sold all but three! I am keeping the black and nickel Leica II--I love it! And I'm also keeping the M2, but it needs some work. I still have a IIIc to sell but I'm going to send it off for CLR first.
Could you recommend a shop to CLA and replace bellows in old medium format folder cameras?
I've not had to do this yet, but soon coming. I have found this company nabell.com/products/camera-bellows/ but I can't speak to their pricing. I know new bellows can get expensive. Once you have them, it doesn't look difficult to replace yourself. I have only used Youxin Ye to repair my Leicas, and Dave's Camera in Michigan. But in the end, finding someone without a big wait who isn't overpriced is the key. Which model camera are you working on?
I will tell you I can definitely stand behind Youxin Ye. He is fast and fair.
@@FilmCameraObsession Kodak Vigilant six-20, 5 of them
@@MichaelCarter Nice! I had one of those but didn't have a chance to shoot it before I off-loaded it. Have fun refurbishing them.
Your should keep them all. I would if I were you.
Too late! I have four left. A 1932 Leica II that I just posted a video on. The M2. A IIIg that has an offer. And a IIIc that is for sale. I couldn't afford to keep them all!
@@FilmCameraObsession Should keep the IIIg. such a great camera.
How do I find out the value for two old 1930's & 1940's
Leica cameras
I don't even know the model of either camera.
Are you selling any of your leicas ?
Sorry, my friend, they are all sold. I still have one IIIc that will need a good CLR, and I'm keeping the II and the M2. Good luck on your Leica search.
Do you considering selling it?
I've sold most of them.Three left. Two keepers.
Do you have any info on then Leica Nr.814156 GMBH D8P
