Even my Nikon 50mm 1.4 for my F2 doesnt have blades that round!

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.

3. Shutter speed dial: lift and turn.
