People sometimes refer to the 111C as the "Poor Man's Leica". I've had 111C cameras for donkey's years and know them really well. I also have Leica. I've done extensive testing, and I can't see any difference in the photographic results between Retina and Leica. The Retina 111c or 111C are very, very good cameras. They're compact and a delight to handle. Smooth as silk and always give fantastic results. Chris, over the years, has serviced many of my cameras. His work is superb, and I wish him the best for his retirement. Selfishly, I'm sorry he's stopped but he's deserved his retirement more than anyone. Thank you Chris. - It's been an honour having you look after my equipment.
Good summary of the differences Chris - nice one! Out of interest, what steps do you carry out to set the correct position on the meter when the position of the black dial before dismantling is suspected to be incorrect?
Hi 👋🏼, i have the lllc second version , with the 35mm and 80 mm , but I cannot find a good explanation on how to use them .. if have chance to make a video will be excellent... 👍🏼👍🏼keep the good videos !!!
G'day jacasan2000, OK, I'll put that on my list of things to do. Note that you have to be a masochist to want to use the wide and tele on these cameras, it is anything but convenient.

I have a small IIIc early type with a guard around the rewind knob.
