Leica Leitz Black FODUA Long Base Rangefinder FODIS Unit For Standard Camera!

Description

Hello. Up for your consideration this week is a Leica FODUA or FODIS, as referred to with the leather case (not included), long base rangefinder unit for early Leica Standard cameras. The housing of this particular unit is in fair condition exhibiting some normal signs of moderate use that includes some blemishing, scratching, brassing, and loss of finish on the majority of vulnerable surfaces. Moreover, some of the screws exhibit some rusting. The rangefinder patch is acceptably bright and useable. The rangefinder is accurate in operation and horizontal alignment but is slightly out of vertical alignment. The view through the unit is age appropriate and useable. That said, as to be expected there is some internal hazing and speckles of dust/debris that isn’t distracting while in use. All in all, a beautiful one hundred percent original example this early long base rangefinder unit.
