I understand. It was sure fun holding it and shooting a roll through it. I
even felt a bit nervous. A great piece of equipment. Now, if I were a
rangefinder kind of guy, I'd by it just for the 50mm lens and then get a
digital M body. That M10 Monochrom sure looks nice, and this would be a
cheap way to pick up some lenses.

Aram,
There was a time when I would have been interested but it has long past.
I decided that I don't want to live in a museum.
I prefer to have the latest and the greatest.
But thanks anyway for the offer. I hope they find a caring film user.

Reduced price of $1700.
Leica M3 and two lens kit for sale. I am listing this for someone else, so
please direct all purchase correspondence to Milina Koch,
milina.koch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx . If you have any specific equipment questions
you can direct them to me, but I will have spotty email for the next week as
I will be exercising my camera in Yosemite for Christmas.
Pictures start here and the next 8.

Leica M3 single throw # 1000xxxx with case and body cap that appears to be
in excellent condition. Tested shutter speeds with a roll of film. Focus
appears to be dead on, though I had problems focusing because my eye is
having a problem and I have not used a rangefinder since the 60’s and my dad’s
Argus C3.
50/2 Summicron # 174xxxx dual range with eyes, hood, caps that is in
excellent shape. Smooth focusing and aperture rings.
135/4.5 Hector # 173xxxx with caps and case. Appears to be in very good
shape. Focus ring not as effortless as the 50, but still smooth.
LeicaMeter MC with case and incident metering cover. Seems to work. Agreed
to withing a half stop with my hand-held meter, and the roll of film I shot
was well exposed.
Comes with a carry bag with other goodies in it like a folding tripod,
cleaning supplies, etc.
Would like to sell the whole kit for $1700 plus shipping and insurance.
From my research this seems to be a reasonable price, but if not, please
email me.
