Leitz III (F)
The Leitz III, internally designated Model F, is a 35mm rangefinder camera introduced by Ernst Leitz Wetzlar in 1933 and produced through the late 1930s. It uses the 39mm Leica screw mount and added a separate slow-speed dial alongside the main shutter dial, extending the II's speed range. Positioned as the top of the pre-war Leica line when new, it was aimed at serious amateurs and press photographers.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the III (F) have ranged from roughly £100 for rough or incomplete chrome bodies up to about £2,200 for rare military-marked and special-finish variants, with a median hammer result around £620. Standard chrome examples in usable condition typically sell for between £280 and £900, while black-paint, Luftwaffen-Eigentum and Stapo-marked bodies carry a clear premium in today's market. Hammer results are saleroom wholesale levels and exclude buyer's premium, so retail asking prices for the same cameras at specialist dealers sit meaningfully higher.

Auction: Leitz Auction 23 (Lot AI_23_10667) Title: Leica III Mod. F LUXUS 'Karl Henkell'
Description:
Unique outfit of original Leitz gold plated 'Luxus' camera with brown lizard leather covering and 2 gold plated lenses (Summar 2/5cm no.190131, Elmar 3.5/3.5cm no.182545). History of this outfit: It comes from the estate of the famous German sparkling producer Karl Henkell (Henkell Trocken) who used the camera until 1944, then it went to his son Otto Henkell who passed it on to his eldest son and present owner Hans Henkell. The camera is well documented in the Leitz archive. It was originally delivered on February 11th, 1931 to Besier Wiesbaden as a Luxus (vergoldet) Ic non standard outfit with 4 lenses, it came back to Leitz on April 30th, 1931 for repair and was converted in Leica II Luxus on May 2nd, 1932, on December 21st, 1933 it was updated in Leica III Luxus. A copy of a photograph showing Karl Henkell in October 1933 with his (still) Leica II Luxus is included. The Summar 2/5cm no.190131 was delivered on December 28th, 1933 to Foto Tauber, Wiesbaden as gold plated (vergoldet) Sumuskup, the date is very close to the last conversion into Leica III, so we believe that the camera and the Summar were delivered together on December 28th, 1933. The Elmar 3.5cm was delivered as a sample lens to a Leitz representative (Barsing, Reise) in 1934 and went back to the factory in January 1938. It was subsequently gold-plated for Karl Henkell. Estimate: EUR 250,000 - EUR 300,000 |

Frequently asked questions
What is a Leitz III (F) worth today?
In 2026, standard chrome bodies in working order typically sell for between £280 and £900 at UK auction, with a median hammer price of roughly £620 across all variants.
How much does a Leitz III (F) sell for in top condition?
Clean, fully-serviced chrome examples with a matching lens have fetched £900–£1,100 at auction, while black-paint and military-issue variants have reached £1,900–£2,200.
Why do some Leitz III (F) cameras have such a high price?
Rarity drives the value at the top end: black-paint, Luftwaffen-Eigentum, Stapo-marked and Tiranty Paris bodies are scarce and sought by collectors, which is why the range extends well above the figure a plain chrome body is worth.
Is the Leitz III (F) the same as a Leica III?
Yes — the camera is marked Leitz on the top plate but is universally catalogued as the Leica III, Model F, and both names refer to the same 1933-introduced screw-mount rangefinder.
