>>Now I ve read that most of these older cameras need a CLA and

>>So, can you recommend a particular model over another (I was
>>thinking about a IIIc, IIc, IIIf or IIf) _and_ can you recommend a
>>particular repair person to do a complete CLA of the camera (if
>>possible in Europe, esp. Germany)?
>>
>>How much do you think I would have to pay for the camera and the
>>CLA/possible shutter repair??
>>
>>Maybe somebody has a reliable, CLAed camera for sale? I am not
>>looking for a mint example, just one in good working order.
>>
>>As always I apreciate every comment.

>>Many TIA,

I like the IIIg. Try to find one in good nick test it and hope it
doesn't need a CLA ;-)
