Leitz IIIc K
The Leitz IIIc K is a 35mm rangefinder camera with the Leica screw mount (LTM/L39), produced in the 1940s. The "K" designation denotes the ball-bearing ("Kugellager") shutter fitted to this version of the IIIc body, and many examples left the factory with military markings for Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe service.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the IIIc K have spanned roughly £1,200–£6,700, with a median around £2,300 across the records on file; a clean chrome example sold for £3,780 in early 2025. As of today the value of a given body is highly condition- and provenance-sensitive — military-marked variants such as Luftwaffen-Eigentum or Wehrmacht-grey bodies sell for a clear premium over plain chrome, while an incomplete or non-working example can sell for £100 or less at saleroom level.
