Hello Aram.
I recently put mine on sale as I'm not into use of it any more.
Just reducing the size and bulk of the kit, need for cash also at the period of
my life.
If you are interested: this one is a 3.6 Million production number
It's 3 cam only, early production, it says 'Made in Japan'.
Comes with caps, a 60mm Leica Fileter and the Leather pouch.
No trace on the paint, no mark on the glass.
Your offer, if you are still interested.
Cheers!
