Subject: R3 Safari w/50 Summilux
From: wilcox@umcc.umcc.umich.edu (Ken Wilcox)

I have the opportunity to purchase an R3 Safari with matching 50mm
Summilux. It is in user condition with some dings, a dent and some
brassing. The glass seems perfect and all is operational.

I'm a rangefinder man although I sometimes use my wife's RE. I'm interested
in this camera because I like the fit in my hands and its condition gives
it "character," and I won't have to worry about my use devaluing it.

Are there reasons not to by an R3? What might be a reasonable price for
such a body/lens combination.

Cheers!
