Brand New Leica C3 35mm FIlm Camera with Leica Vario-Elmar 28-80mm ASPH Lens, in original box will all documentation.

This is brand new camera that seems like never been used. The box has some light wear and tear after 20 years of storage, but camera is 100% flawless with no imperfections at all. This is the rarest item in our store that still carries brand new look, feel and functionality.

It's a Leica, probably the most prestigious camera maker in the world, designed and bread in Germany. Only the best material, best optics and best styling go into making every model, so whichever one you go for (C1, C2, or C3), you can be pretty sure its way up there on the list in its class. Even before you find out what the C3 has under that solid stainless steel casing, you won't want to put it down. It feels, looks and handles beautifully. The C3 is built to last with a real retro feel and every part of the camera oozes quality. The buttons and display are very simple, clean and very well laid out, making the camera so simple to use a child would be able to pick it up and take pictures.

The Leica C3 is a fully-automatic autofocus "point & shoot" 35mm compact camera features a 28 to 80 mm f3.6-7.9 Leica Vario-Elmar ASPH zoom lens with a focus range of 0.8 m to infinity. Has typical programmed automatic exposure. Flash can be set to auto, on, off, red-eye reduction, slow. Film speed is set automatically with DX-coded films from 50 to 3200 ISO. The motor driven film transport automatically advances to the first frame as well as rewind after last exposure.
It is powered by a 3V CR123A battery.

The most distinct C3 feature is a 28mm - 80mm Vario-Elmar lens, the same as a standard lens for many big SLRs. What's sets this lens apart from other brands of camera is its build (only genuine optical glass not plastic), its incredible speed for a compact camera (making pictures in less than adequate lighting a breeze and worry free) and its sharpness/depth of color. In fact, the color reproduction is breath taking, reproducing deep rich smooth color within pin sharp focus! For many years hundreds of thousands of photographers all around the world were amazed by what the C3 can achieve!! The 28mm wide angle lens is great for capturing landscapes and architecture, whilst the 80mm top end will aid you with portraits and macro work.
So with the C3 you really are getting value/quality for money and obviously a great looking camera, wearing that exclusive Leica label.
Sure this camera may not be a movie making piece of stainless steel the size and weight of a brick, but you are getting a solid camera that takes amazing photos every time.
My advice before buying any camera would be to think carefully about what you are buying it for! And If you’re looking for a camera that feels great, looks the part, takes breath taking photos in almost any lighting condition, that is simple to use and that can fit into your pocket, the Leica C3 is the one for you. The Leica C3 also comes all proper documentation and a hard as nails plastic transparent case, making this product almost indestructible.
