Hi Philippe,
Yes, it has been frequently used, until decent film processing
disappeared because everyone was shooting digital. I bought it used 40
yrs ago, and my son and I have both shot many images with it.
I will take credit for the image, though, taken with an early 5MP sensor
and processed with state of the art software. The kitchen counter and
lights are my studio.
Leica purists may note two discrepancies. The external VF is not Leica,
but one I bought after my Leica multi-lens finder developed an element
separation. And, the shutter release is not native to the IIIf. It was
originally on my first Leica, a III/IIIa from 1935, where it was offered
as an alternate to the usual small, knurled thread cover.

Ever used it? Looks like new from the factory in Sarrebrucken, 45 miles from

Still one of the most recognizable cameras ever produced, the Leica IIIf was a
great tool for producing memorable images on film. But, it required sharp eyes
to deal with the small viewfinder and rangefinder windows. As I got older, I
turned to more eye-friendly designs. It sits on the shelf, looking over my
shoulder as I work with Lightroom and Photoshop.
