------------- quote -------------------
Based on the early IIIc, there had been another, extremely rare model
(only 427 were made): The IIId, a IIIc with self-timer. (The first
IIId was even made before the IIIc!)
Therefore, the "new" IIIc should have been called IIIe - why did
Leitz keep the old name?

You might have had one out of 427 cameras Phil. And you sold it. Now I
wonder what it would have been worth today? :-)

PS: I mentioned before that the only Leica I ever sold was a IIIc.
I've finally rectified that mistake.
