It is my pleasure to share my heartfelt love to Leica with everyone over the world. Hope you all enjoy this short interview, can't wait to meet you at the f22 peninsula - home of the finest vintage cameras!

A few of my friends told me they really love the article in Leica Names and find them interesting. It is always fascinating to learn a little more about the history of Leica, and the history of the specific Leica camera you own! In fact, another very interesting “code letter” is the black wax that covers one of the 5 screws which help to fix the M bayonet mount together.

Let us talk about grey painted Leica, but we will skip the “legendary grey M2” for later and focus on some fundamentals of IIIc grey instead. There are many different variations of IIIc grey, but they do share some common features. We will cover the basic here and will go into more detail later. (Likely will need to split IIIc grey into 3-4 articles)
