The Leica IIIc was the first thread mount Leica to be made with a die-cast body. This process greatly enhanced its strength and durability, especially when compared to its predecessors. Like all of its III series cousins, the IIIc has a rangefinder and a slow-speed shutter dial on the front of the body. Unlike its earlier variants, however, the IIIc comes with a small knob that holds the slow-speed dial in place. The Leica IIIc also comes with an improved shutter mechanism that runs on ball bearings so that there is a bit less friction. This innovation also allows for easier service later in life.
Like previous Leica cameras, the IIIc uses M39 screw mount lenses. It has a removable baseplate for film loading.
