What it is
{"overview":"The Leitz IIId is a 35mm screw-mount rangefinder introduced in 1940, based on the IIIc body with the addition of a self-timer. Royal Air Force marked cameras and examples paired with the MOOLY-C motor drive tend to fetch a premium when documentation is clear.","buying_guide":"The defining feature of the IIId over the IIIc is the self-timer, so confirm that mechanism runs cleanly on inspection. Check the cloth shutter curtains for pinholes, verify rangefinder patch contrast and vertical alignment, and look for corrosion or re-plating on top-plate engravings since originality drives value.

Versions and how to tell them apart
Questions
Does the Royal Air Force variant affect the price?
Yes — documented RAF-marked bodies and cameras supplied with the MOOLY-C motor drive tend to command a premium over a standard IIId, though unverified military markings should be treated with caution.
