Reid & Sigrist Reid III

{"overview":"The Reid III is a British 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Reid & Sigrist of Leicester, closely based on the Leica III design and using the 39mm screw lens mount. Price is strongly condition-sensitive: matching serials, a smooth shutter and a clear rangefinder patch account for most of the variation in value.","buying_guide":"Inspect the cloth focal-plane shutter for pinholes, capping and accurate slow speeds, as these are the most common faults on bodies of this age. Check the rangefinder patch for contrast and correct vertical and infinity alignment, and verify that engravings and serials are genuine Reid & Sigrist rather than a later re-marked Leica copy.
