Questions

Is the red-dial IIf worth more than the black-dial version?

Both red-dial and black-dial variants appear in the sales record at broadly similar price levels, so condition and completeness tend to influence value more than dial colour alone.

Why is a IIf cheaper than a IIIf?

The IIf omits the slow-speed dial fitted to the IIIf, so collectors generally pay a premium for the fuller-featured IIIf while the IIf offers a lower entry price into the screw-mount Leica family.
