Reid & Sigrist Reid IIIa 35mm Camera- **SOLD**

Holland314 · 21st September 2016, 07:31

My dad (rockyholland) has decided to sell one of his cameras that he no longer uses, absolutely beautiful bit of kit.

For anyone that's interested, the eBay listing is here;

Anyone who's interested feel free to send me a PM.

It's expected to reach upwards of the £1500 mark, but if any forum members are interested I'm sure a deal can be struck

Wow! I'd love that but... Slight lack of ££!

A British-built copy of the classic German Leica that was generally regarded as being better than the original. Lenses were outstanding too & a lot of them were used by the military during WW2, so survivors are rare.

Looks like that is an ex-laboratory camera?

I believe it is ex-lab, going by the engraving on the bottom. I understand the military ones had war department engravings
