Market pace 95 listed now · half are gone within 38 days, a slow used market.

A quick gut-check for any listing below — condition and accessories shift the line, so always read the listing. Special edition, special finish, and camera plus lens/accessory bundle pricing is not included in the fair price calculation.

The Leica IIIc, introduced in 1940, was a major structural change: it was the first Leica built on a one-piece die-cast body, replacing the earlier assembled construction and making the camera slightly longer and more rigid. It keeps the 1/1000 top speed, slow speeds, and 39mm screw mount. Production spanned the war and continued to about 1951, and roughly 130,000 were made. Wartime examples include bodies with the ball-bearing 'K' shutter (Kugellager) built for cold-weather reliability, gray-painted finishes, and military markings. Early post-war bodies are known for variable chrome quality. The IIIc is a plentiful, robust screw-mount Leica, with the wartime variants forming a distinct collector niche.
