Hello. Thanks for the video. I just bought what I think is a IIIc, but it doesn't have a slow speed dial on the front. Did they make a variant like that or did I buy a knock off?

Check out the serial number online. Leica made many models without slow speeds.

I have a Leica III, it's so sensual to use

Great review on the Leica IIIc. There’s just something about the old Barnack Leicas that sets them apart from the M’s……not saying that one is better than the other but each are a joy to use. There are several film trim templates available if you can’t find the original one. I would recommend cutting the film leader as some of the other techniques can potentially damage the shutter or baseplate. There are several companies making the LTM 39mm lenses. There a plethora of old LTM lenses available but beware as there can be issues with these older lenses such as fungus or balsam separation. If you do buy one of these Barnacks or even older M’s recommend a cla. There are a couple if people who still service these. If you do get one, this review and other videos by Jonathan are a good place to start.
