What it is

The Nicca IIIL is a Japanese 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Nicca Camera Works, part of the postwar group of Japanese makers that built Leica screw-mount-compatible bodies. It was positioned in the late-1950s rangefinder market as a mid-tier alternative to Leitz and the contemporary Canon and Leotax models.

Inspect the cloth focal-plane shutter for pinholes and capping, check rangefinder patch contrast and vertical alignment, and confirm the slow-speed escapement runs cleanly. Specialist Leica-screw-mount technicians can usually service these bodies, but Nicca-specific spares are scarce and often have to come from donor cameras.

Questions

Is the Nicca IIIL a good buyer's camera at this price?

For collectors of Japanese Leica-screw-mount rangefinders the IIIL offers reasonable value, but the limited number of sales means the market price can swing noticeably between examples.
