Nicca 5

The Nicca 5 is a Japanese 35mm rangefinder camera in the Leica screw-mount tradition, produced in the post-war era when several Japanese makers built bodies closely modelled on the pre-war Leica II/III pattern. It was positioned as a working photographer's tool rather than a budget alternative, sitting within Nicca's line of screw-mount rangefinders.

Inspect the rangefinder for clarity and accurate coincidence, check shutter speeds across the range (cloth shutters of this era often suffer from pinholes, capping or slow slow-speeds from old lubricants), and confirm the screw-mount throat is clean and undamaged. Service support is limited to independent classic-camera technicians, and original accessories or matched-era lenses can add to the price a complete outfit achieves.
