What it is

The Nicca 33 is a Japanese 35mm rangefinder camera in the Leica screw-mount lineage produced by Nicca Camera Works. It sits among the postwar Japanese Barnack-derived rangefinders that were sold as more affordable alternatives to contemporaneous Leitz bodies.

As with other screw-mount Japanese rangefinders of this era, inspect the cloth focal-plane shutter for pinholes and capping, check rangefinder patch contrast and vertical alignment, and confirm slow speeds run cleanly. Original Nicca-branded accessories and matching-serial lenses, where present, tend to attract a premium, and service is largely limited to independent classic-camera technicians.

Questions

Is the Nicca 33 a Leica copy?

It is a Japanese 35mm rangefinder built in the Leica screw-mount tradition, so it shares the general layout and lens compatibility of that family of cameras.
