One year - used equipment that has been refurbished
The Leica M3 was the first of Leica's 35mm rangefinder film cameras designed to accept M-Mount lenses. This series of cameras was introduced in 1954 and revolutionized the Leica rangefinder not only for its bayonet-style M-mount, but also by having a large, bright, combined viewfinder/rangefinder window. In addition to be bright and allowing simultaneous focusing and composition, the M3 viewfinder also corrects for parallax during focusing and projects framelines for 50mm, 90mm and 135mm lenses. The shutter of the Leica M3 is capable of speeds from 1 second up to 1/1000, plus Bulb and Flash Sync. Another key difference that set the M3 apart from earlier Leica cameras is the hinged back "door" of the camera that made film loading much easier and quicker. There is good reason this camera is considered legendary and has been used to make some of the most famous photos in the history of 20th century photography.
This Leica M3 is an early M3 which has been converted to Single Stroke.
