Enjoying the classics. Leica Ⅲa + Elmar 50mm F3.5 (Nickel) + FOMAPAN 400

東京CAMERA
This is an example taken with a Leica IIIa (released in 1935) and an Elmar 50mm F3.5 Nickel (released in 1930).

Impressions after using it

When combined with a retractable lens, it fits in the palm of your hand and is easy to carry around, and its classic appearance will lift your spirits.


The shutter sound is quiet and elegant, and the operation, including the manners, is comfortable, making it a camera that you can enjoy taking pictures with.


The lens is soft wide open, but surprisingly sharp when stopped down.

The sharp depictions are so striking that it's hard to believe they were made in the 1930s.
