christopher_a._junker1 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Neither of my IIIg SYOOM baseplate winders will mount on my 1951 IIIf BD from the 30K production block. Although both SYOOMs fit on the bottom of the IIIf, neither can be locked in place with the SYOOM marked "auf" and "zu" rotating locking tab. Both lock easily on the IIIg bodies. Is a IIIg SYOOM supposed to be a compatible retrofit on IIIf BD cameras or is there a reason they will only fit on a IIIg body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels - NHSN Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 4 days without and answer. I hope I don't violate Photo.net forum etiquette by suggesting you post the question on another site; the Leica Collectors and Historica forum. I think your question is just a notch too specialised here. It may be a good idea to include a photo. Not that I doubt a collector would know what a SYOOM is, but sometimes Leica made changes although they kept the product code. For example, I had some compatibility issues with a FILCA and found out that there are 4 different FILCA versions. 1 Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several regular participants of that forum whose knowledge is encyclopedic and will go to great lengths to provide an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christopher_a._junker1 Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 Thanks for your guidance and advice. I hope someone over on the other site has an answer. I may be in error thinking there is only one version of SYOOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allancobb Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Although not answering your question directly, here’s some more info from the Leica Wiki site: SYOOM - Leica Wiki (English) The forum discussion links may reveal something more specific.
