Hans > Leica introduced a redesigned shutter mechanism in 1952 at 615,001 for the > IIIf and 574,401 for the IIf. This used a shutter speed range (1, 1/2, > 1/5, 1/10, 1/25, 1/50, 1/75, 1/100, 1/200, 1/500, and, on the IIIf, > 1/1000). The synchronization mechanism was also changed, from the > black-dial to the red-dial, at this point. (Laney indicates that some of > the IIIf's with the new shutter were BD, but I doubt this, without having > heavily researched the point.) > > Marc > > msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 > Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir! > >
