Ready Case

Ready CaseReady Case

Ready Case

the LEICA M3 is protected against the weather and minor knocks,

yet is always ready for action. The lid of the ever-ready case is

pivoted so that it is well out of the way even for upright shots, and

cannot obstruct the lens.

LEICA filters

LEICA filtersLEICA filters

LEICA filters

improve tonal rendition in black-and-white pictures. The yellow and

orange filters, for example, yield pictorial cloud effects. The LEITZ

polarizing filters subdue disturbing reflections from glass, water,

and polished surfaces (other than metal ones) and increase the

contrast of clouds against the sky. They are also useful in color

photography. All filters for the LEICA M3 screw into the front mount

of the camera lens. For special purposes two filters can even be

used together (though with some risk of vignetting, if a wide lens

aperture is used).

Lens Hoods

Lens HoodsLens Hoods

Lens Hoods

protect the lens against direct rays of strong light sources that

might give rise to flare, and also against rain and snow. Hold the

lens hood so as to press in the two spring clips, place it over the

lens and let it engage. Lens hood and filter can be combined;

provided the correct hood is used for the lens, it will not cause

vignetting (shading of the corners of the negative).

If you use the ever-ready case for the LEICA M3, the lens hood

may be reversed over a number of LEICA lenses, and special lens

hood caps are provided to protect the front surface of the lens.
