Information:	Product details

The IIIg was the final screwmount model. Introduced in 1957, three years after the M3, it was mainly produced between 1957 and 1960, although a handful were assembled up through 1966. Functionally, the difference between the IIIG and it's predecessor, the IIIF, is the viewfinder.
