Rangefinders

Screwmount

  • Leica 0, preseries ("nul serie")
  • Leica A(fixed lense)
  • Leica B (only model w leaf shutter)
  • Leica C non-standardized (requires lense shims)
  • Leica C standardized = Leica I
  • Leica D = Leica II (first type w/ built-in rangefinder)
  • Leica E = Leica Standard = Leica I (improved standardized C )
  • Leica F = Leica IIILike II but with slow speeds on frontal dial)
  • Leica IIc (die cast body like IIIc; otherwise similar to Leica II)
  • Leica IIf= (No slow speed dial, but other improvements like IIIf)
  • Leica If (Has two accessory shoes. Die cast body similar to IIf but without rangefinder)
  • Leica G = Leica IIIa(adds 1/1000 speed)
  • Leica IIIb (Rfdr. and viewer windows close together)
  • Leica IIIc (die cast body, slightly longer)
  • Leica IIIf (postwar improvements, and some have self-timer lever.
  • Leica IIIg (change in body configuration to facillitate manufacture.)
  • Leica 250 Reporterhas huge film magazines.
  • Leica half-frame Version of IIIc, and was built in Canada)
  • Single Exposure Leica

Note: Capital letter model designations were used in Europe; Roman numerals were at first used in USA, and became universal after the Model G (IIIa) There is often confusion between the sub-letters in lower case used on the Roman numeral designations, and the capital letters used in the earlier screwmount models; they do NOT equate! Apparently there were no Models ie, IIe, or IIIe. Also the III is not the same as the IIIa. There are many minor variations that did not rate a change in designation.
