The latest style single stroke repainted Leica M3 body.

The finder windows on the top plate changed to new multi-coated windows.

The windows are made of high-quality glass with double-sided 7-layer coating, scratch-resistant.

Coated windows made the already excellent finder even better.

Strap lugs were replaced with new black chromed lugs.

Camera loading system converted to Leica M4 style quick loading.

The camera is fully CLA’d, and recovered with Aki-Asahi 4008 cover material.

Repainted Leica M2.

The finder windows on the top plate changed to new multi-coated windows.

The windows are made of high-quality glass with double-sided 7-layer coating, scratch-resistant.

The rear eyepiece was replaced with the M6 style (no longer available from Leica).

Coated windows made the already excellent finder even better.

Strap lugs were replaced with new steel lugs.

Then camera is fully CLA’d, and recovered with Aki-Asahi 4008 cover material.

The front element is polished and recoated with multi-coating, 7 layers of coating, scratch resistant, with a higher light transmission ratio and better color reproduction.

We no longer offer polish/recoat services.

Classic Leica M6 0.85 body with fully upgraded finder to Leica MP standard.

This upgrade includes installing the Leica MP anti-flare kit, which is a condenser lens in the mask, and changing the front windows to Leica MP-coated windows.

We can do the same upgrade for all M6 variants including classic M6 0.72, classic M6 0.85, M6 TTL 0.58, M6 TTL 0.72 and M6 TTL 0.85.

Leica M2 with some practical upgrades:

• Finder windows changed to multi-coated, further enhanced finder contrast.

• Strap lugs replaced with new steel lugs so that you can use the strap on the camera without the wearing-out brass lug problem.

• Rear eyepiece changed to new M6 eyepiece to avoid scratch glass for glass-wearing users. This rear eyepiece is no longer available from Leica.

• Body cover changed to new cameraleather product.

Another Black Painted Leica M3
 

Leica M3 single stroke body over 1.1 million repainted.

The finder windows on the top plate changed to new multi-coated windows.

The windows are made of high-quality glass with double-sided 7 layer coating, scratch-resistant.

Coated windows made the already excellent finder even better.

Strap lugs were replaced with new black chromed lugs.

Camera loading system converted to Leica M4 style quick loading.

The front prism over the main prism is recemented, with no more separation or aging signs.

The flash synch posts converted into M4 style.

The Camera is fully CLA’d, and recovered with Aki-Asahi 4008 cover material.

The classic M2, M3, and early M4 finders used Canadian Balsam as optical cement.

The Canadian Balsam over the decades has become brittle and dried out on the edge area, commonly referred to as “separation”.

We do not recement the main prism, forcing the main prism apart is risky, and could result glass break.

The 0.72 type finder in M2/4 separation happens on the main prism edges.

The M3 finder has a different design, with two triangular prisms with silver coating in the middle, cemented together.

There is a third prism, the front prism, which is a concave prism, cemented to the front of the main prism blocks to bring out 0.91 magnification.

The common separation on M3 finder separation is not from the main prism in most cases, but the front concaved prism.

We can recement the front prism, and make an M3 finder look perfect again.

The two images show before and after.
