There are three things that aren't immediately obvious from this video that someone with no prior exposure to the Leica III (raises hand) won't know:
1. The little lever on the rangefinder eyepiece (2:36) does not adjust the focus -- that's done around front, on the lens, with a knob that locks in to the "infinity" setting and thus isn't immediately obviously moveable.
2. Many say you must trim your film before you load it so that the leader is longer.
Thank you for the video! very helpful. By the way, this is a very nice piece of jewelry you have there! I am very new to Leica, I just had my Leica if 3 days ago.
Thanks so much! I have a zorki I but it's the same...because leica it's a copy of mine.
