Boxes/Papers:

The M3 is the beginning of the Leica M series. The latest M10 still has the same design as the M3, and the shutter control system has the same layout, making this an eternal classic model that laid the foundation for modern Leica cameras.

Among them, the black paint version is the rarest. Of course it is original. It was painted black for professional use at the time. It is truly equipment for professionals. Among the black-painted M3, M2, and M4, the number of units produced was the smallest, and this M3 black paint is firmly established as a collector's item.

The joy of owning a camera, as well as the feel and texture of the camera when taking photos, are things that probably cannot be obtained with current cameras.

Because there are so few of these, there are few that remain in good condition, and it is rare to find one like this one. It is one of those items that you should be especially careful about when purchasing, as it may have been repainted or the top plate replaced.
Please enjoy the quality of the original.
